I am building a container with python script that sends an email using outlook. I am having trouble adding win32com to my container in the build process. It gives the error No module named 'win32com'. Can someone please help I can't find a solution online. Here's my code:

email.py

import win32com.client as win32
# import json
from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI() 


@app.get("/")
async def root():
    outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
    mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
    mail.To = 'bilalhussain.v1@gmail.com'
    mail.Subject = 'Testing Email Through Outlook'
    mail.Body = 'This shouldnot have taken this long'
    mail.HTMLBody = '<h2>Hello World</h2>' #this field is optional

        # To attach a file to the email (optional):
    attachment  = "find.json"
    mail.Attachments.Add(attachment)

    mail.Send()

requirements.txt

I guess the closest you can get is installing wine inside the container and executing your code under wine.

You will need to install python with wine prior.

There are wine ready docker images.

In any case I do not think it is going to work for your purpose, Outlook if exists in the container will not be properly configured.
