AttributeError: 'UUID' object has no attribute 'rfind'`

Hello!

I'm getting this error when I try to send an email with yagmail. At this point, I have my password in the code, since I am just testing it out. Here is what my code looks like, followed by the error message:

yag = yagmail.SMTP('<MYEMAILREDACTED>', '<MYPWREDACTED>') contents = ['This is the body, and here is your pwreset key:', key, 'Did that work?'] yag.send('<EMAILREDACTED>', 'TEST', contents)

error below:

Can you help me figure out what I need to fix this? Thanks!

Appears it is the key that I am trying to send, which was made with uuid.uuid4()

I should probably just close this issue, but do you know why I'm not able to attach this variable, that I have the line before in my code?

had to cast it to a string :) closing the issue

Glad you resolved it!
