How to create and send a pdf attachment

[Epinephrine]

Does anyone have a code sample that shows how to create a pdf document
and then, without saving that document to disk, email it as an
attachment?

I am using the ReportLab PDF library at the platypus level for pdf
creation.

For emailing, I expect to use Django's EmailMessage class.

Thanks!

Hi,

looking at the source:

django/core/mail.py:

def attach(self, filename=None, content=None, mimetype=None):
"""
Attaches a file with the given filename and content. The
filename can
be omitted (useful for multipart/alternative messages) and the
mimetype
is guessed, if not provided.

If the first parameter is a MIMEBase subclass it is inserted
directly
into the resulting message attachments.

Thanks. That is the outline of what I want to do; what I need now is
specifics: how to create the document and pass it successfully (MIME,
etc) to the attach method.
