python MIME attaching multiple attachments to a multipart message

I am trying to attach multiple attachments to a email.mime.multipart object:

from smtplib import SMTP
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

message = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
message['Subject'] = 'test'

for i in range(10):
    title="<h2>{}</h2>".format(i)
    message.attach(MIMEText(title,"html",_charset="utf-8"))

Here I can check that the payload contains the 10 elements:
message.get_payload()
I can see the list of 10 elements, which seems correct.

However when I send the email with the following code:

MAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com:587'
MAIL_USER = '[email protected]'
MAIL_PASSWORD = 'xxx'
MAIL_REPICIENTS = ['[email protected]']

smtp = SMTP(MAIL_HOST)
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.starttls()
smtp.login(MAIL_USER, MAIL_PASSWORD)
smtp.sendmail(MAIL_USER, MAIL_REPICIENTS, message.as_string())
smtp.close()

The email contains only the last element of the list.

Can anyone help me with that?

That’s because you are attaching 10 different messages. Why you want is to attach one message. Change your code to this:

from smtplib import SMTP
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

message = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
message['Subject'] = 'test'
html = ''

for i in range(10):
    title="<h2>{}</h2>".format(i)
    html += title

message.attach(MIMEText(html,"html",_charset="utf-8"))
