Attach generated CSV file to email and send with Django

Question

I need to generate a csv file based on the queryset result, attach the resulting file to an email as attachment and send. As you can see i need to iterate over the assigned_lead

Answer 1

Is there a particular reason you're using an additional function at all? Just build your csv in memory - you can't avoid that if you're attaching it to email - and send that.

assigned_leads = lead.objects.filter(assigned_to__in=usercompany).distinct()
csvfile = StringIO.StringIO()
csvwriter = csv.writer(csvfile)
for leads in assigned_leads:
    csvwriter.writerow([leads.business_name, leads.first_name, leads.last_name, leads.email, leads.phone_number,leads.address, leads.city, leads.state, leads.zipcode, leads.submission_date, leads.time_frame, leads.comments])
message = EmailMessage("Hello","Your Leads","myemail@gmail.com",["myemail@gmail.com"])
message.attach('invoice.csv', csvfile.getvalue(), 'text/csv')
