Sending Email From Databricks Notebooks

i want to send email from databricks notebooks, based on this article: https://docs.databricks.com/user-guide/faq/send-email.html

I am following the steps, however I got an error: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x89 in position 0: invalid start byte And, I think, the reason is because inside the function makeCompatibleImage we have this snipet: val = "" % base64.standard_b64encode(png.read()), and probably there is something wrong with base64.standard_b64encode

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Compute pie slices
N = 20
theta = np.linspace(0.0, 2 * np.pi, N, endpoint=False)
radii = 10 * np.random.rand(N)
width = np.pi / 4 * np.random.rand(N)

ax = plt.subplot(111, projection='polar')
bars = ax.bar(theta, radii, width=width, bottom=0.0)

# Use custom colors and opacity
for r, bar in zip(radii, bars):
    bar.set_facecolor(plt.cm.viridis(r / 10.))
    bar.set_alpha(0.5)
# Convert image add append to html array
html.append(makeCompatibleImage(ax))

#

     14 
     15   displayHTML(val)

/databricks/python/lib/python3.6/codecs.py in decode(self, input, final)
    319         # decode input (taking the buffer into account)
    320         data = self.buffer + input
--> 321         (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
    322         # keep undecoded input until the next call
    323         self.buffer = data[consumed:]

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x89 in position 0: invalid start byte

I want to know how I can replicate this article.

Adding the following code in makeCompatibleImage function, to read the file in binary mode, worked for me:

 with open(imageName, 'rb') as png:
