ImportError: No module named 'twisted.mail.smtp'

See original GitHub issue

I use scrapy in python3.5, when I try to send a mail by MailSender, it’s crashed.

  File "/home/guangyao/Documents/Code/financer_crawl/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/scrapy/mail.py", line 85, in send
    dfd = self._sendmail(rcpts, msg.as_string())
  File "/home/guangyao/Documents/Code/financer_crawl/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/scrapy/mail.py", line 108, in _sendmail
    from twisted.mail.smtp import ESMTPSenderFactory
ImportError: No module named 'twisted.mail.smtp'

@MrLokans I think you can use smtplib and email packages from standard library; see https://docs.python.org/3/library/email-examples.html. They are blocking though - it means that all processing will stop while email is waiting to be sent. So make sure sending is fast: run a local daemon (exim, postfix) and use it to send emails, so that when you call “send email” the message is put to a local queue, and then daemon handles the rest. Using e.g. gmail smtp interface directly is worse because it can be much slower.

@duangy , thanks for reporting. Unfortunately, Scrapy does not support sending mail with Python 3. This is actually a limitation of Twisted, which has not ported its twisted.mail module yet: see https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/8770 and https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/509#issuecomment-242239177
