send email using secureCRT

[Hang]

Has secureCRT work smtplib.SMTP to get it work in python? I still see the "_socket" not supported error message.

A request was put in 2016 not sure if it was worked on.

What I like to do is to write a script that send me an email once my test is done in secureCRT using Python or VBA for that matter.

Is it possible to do this without using smtplib?

Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi Hang,

No, they are still feature requests.

I have added this thread to the following feature requests in our product enhancement database:

• Add support for _socket to SecureCRT/Windows (Python)
  
  
• Add support for smtplib

Should a future release of SecureCRT include either feature, notification will be posted here.

If you prefer direct email notification, send an email to support@vandyke.com and include "Feature Request - Forum Thread 13877" in the subject line or use this form from the support page of our website.

Feature requests are typically prioritized based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the number of requests and the amount of implementation work required. We have received requests for this feature, but it has not yet become a top priority for implementation.

Is it possible to do this without using smtplib?

I do not know the answer to that. Perhaps someone in the community will chime in.

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know the __socket (and other) module(s) should be available as of SecureCRT v9.0, currently in beta 1 release, since this support was added:

Changes in SecureCRT 9.0 (Beta 1) -- September 24, 2020
-------------------------------------------------------
New Features:

• Windows: Added support for Python 3. Python 3.8(available at python.org) must be installed and the script's first line must be: # $language = "python3". Since support for Python 3 is provided through an external module, Python 3 libraries can be used in SecureCRT scripts.

Note that this is Windows only support at this time. In fact, we released beta 1 installers *only* for Windows. We hope to include all platforms in later releases.
