Python error: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'encode'

What I am doing is taking information from a web page and attempting to put it into an e-mail in a format like: First Name: first \n#first is a variable Last Name: last #last is a variable

Below is my code:

import smtplib
import base64

from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

msg = MIMEMultipart('relative')
msg['Subject'] = 'Confirmation E-Mail'
msg['From'] = "none"
msg['To'] = email
text1 = "First Name: ", first_name, "<br>Last Name: ", last_name
part1 = MIMEText(text1, 'html')

s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
s.sendmail(email, email, msg.as_string())
s.quit()

first_name and last_name are pulled from the web page!

MIMEText takes a string as its first argument. You're creating text1 as a tuple. You need something more like

"First Name: %s\nLast Name: %s" % (first_name, last_name)

you need to attach part1 to msg:

msg.attach(part1)

you can also find a good example of how to send a multipart email message in the Python Documenation
