Python3 How do I send Pandas Dataframe in an email

def call_panda():
    filename = 'C:\\file.csv'
    cols_to_use = ['col1', 'col2', 'col3', 'col4']
    df = pd.read_csv(filename, nrows= 5,usecols=cols_to_use,index_col='col1')               
    # Send email
    me = '[email protected]'
    you = '[email protected]'
    textfile = df
    with open(textfile, 'rb') as fp:
        msg = MIMEText(fp.read())
        msg['Subject'] = 'Contents of file'
        msg['From'] = me
        msg['To'] = you
        s = smtplib.SMTP('mailhost.acme.net')
        s.sendmail(me, [you], msg.as_string())
        s.quit()

Error Message is with open(textfile, 'rb') as fp: TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not DataFrame

In the above code, df defined as textfile is data that exists in current memory. Therefore, the with open command can not be executed. with open is a function that loads any file stored on the hard disk into memory.

Pandas has a df.to_html feature.

https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.to_html.html

Copying Chris Albon: https://chrisalbon.com/python/data_wrangling/pandas_join_merge_dataframe/

import pandas as pd

raw_data = {
        'subject_id': ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5'],
        'first_name': ['Alex', 'Amy', 'Allen', 'Alice', 'Ayoung'], 
        'last_name': ['Anderson', 'Ackerman', 'Ali', 'Aoni', 'Atiches']}
df_a = pd.DataFrame(raw_data, columns = ['subject_id', 'first_name', 'last_name'])
df_a.to_html('df.html')

From here, check this thread for email tips: Sending HTML email using Python

It looks like you'll need to attach the HTML file; I'm not sure if it'll display online, and I don't have a mail server with which I can check.
