Emailing the attachment created with the Quick Screenshots Script(Python + PIL)

[Mark Bratcher]

The quick screenshots script works great for the project I'm working on and
I'm trying to modify it to include emailing the JPG file it generates.  I
retrieved both scripts from the Python Archives.  The modified script is
pasted below and the errors below that.  My goal is to have the latest date
stamped file emailed to me.

 

If someone can see where I've gone wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

"""

Simple script to capture your screen, save it named with today's date and
then

open it to allow editing and markup (circle problems, etc)

To run this you'll need:

>Python Imaging Library (PIL) -http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/

>Python 2.3 or later - http://www.python.org

>Windows?
