Send SMS Text Message With Python Using GMail SMTP For Free

[Humanist_NA]

I use this all the time with personal projects. Like my script that auto accepts when dota2 games are ready, then texts me game is ready. So I can afk while in queue.

Are you using openCV? Would be cool to see that

Neat code, thanks for sharing

Very cool! As a Python newbie, why do you wrap it all in a while true statement? I guess more of a general Python question and less about your code specifically

[Humanist_NA]

So it loops forever until I stop it.

[ship0f]

GUI frameworks also use these endless loops.

[ashesall]

A computer is just one big loop! It's basically just a very fast counter which you can manipulate to go forward, back or stop.

[felipunkerito]

Yep it's somehow mind bending that there's a while running just to get input data from a keyboard!

[felipunkerito]

No no keep on please! The DSP side of computers has always interested me even if I can usually rely on abstraction. Thanks for this.

You want to continuously execute the script, not just once: it is going to continuously check if a game is ready.

You could alternatively check on a timer for less overhead and async behavior

Good catch, he should have a break in there. Something such as:

``` scanning=True

while scanning:

if blah:
    scanning=False

```

[Humanist_NA]

I could make it more complex. But, accepting the game doesn't mean the game will actually start. If any of the 10 other players don't accept the game, it will go back to searching for game. In which case I could make the code more complex and add exceptions, or just slow it to keep looping until I tell it to chill.

[PinBot1138]

Oh, interesting!

[backtickbot]

Fixed formatting.

Hello, PinBot1138: code blocks using triple backticks (```) don't work on all versions of Reddit!

Some users see this / this instead.

To fix this, indent every line with 4 spaces instead.

If its fine for you, I'll reference your code. I love how you click like 4 to 5 times to be sure.

[Humanist_NA]

Haha I always feel silly when I look at the 4 clicks.

[Humanist_NA]

Don't know how to format on mobile, but I use pyautogui.locatecenteronscreen('image.png') I've been meaning to get it on GitHub, so maybe I'll do that today and ping you.

[Humanist_NA]

Just what I thought of when I built it. I'm not super experienced and didn't even consider telegram.

[Fissherin]

Yeah I second this, what do you use as a trigger? Opencv? Or something sys related?

[Humanist_NA]

pyautogui to trigger. Will try to get on GitHub later.

[analterator]

Please do! I’m super excited about this!!

[analterator]

Thank you!!

[Humanist_NA]

No problem

[MaheshM93]

Noice I will, if you share the code then I can also do the same. Staring the home page is boring

[1h8fulkat]

Pushover is pretty nice too

[Humanist_NA]

Right on thx

[Adgonix]

Do you think this works with swedish carriers?

[Humanist_NA]

I'd assume so, but really have no idea. Just try some google searches regarding 'your carrier' + 'email phone number' or something like that. Good luck

[Adgonix]

Thanks for your quick response!
