bash: yagmail.register('username', 'password'): command not found

[j10sanders]

I've tried two methods to get the password out of my code:

yagmail.register('username@gmail.com', 'password) that gives bash: syntax error near unexpected token `'username@gmail.com',' I looked up this error and added quotation marks because of this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/372926/bash-syntax-error-near-unexpected-token

So I now have: yagmail.register"('username@gmail.com', 'password" that gives bash: yagmail.register('username@gmail.com', 'password'): command not found

Any ideas what I can change to do better here?

You have a lot of typos in your command here... could you please check again your syntax?

Could you try to see what happens when you do pip install keyring?

Requirement already satisfied...

For now, I'm using sparkpost, but I would like to get yagmail set up.

Ah wait a minute... you have to run that command in python. It seems like you're running it in bash.

Type python. Then run import yagmail. Only then run yagmail.register('username@gmail.com', 'password').

I struggled with this too! I suggest you change the README to say:

Start the Python interpreter. Then import yagmail:

import yagmail

And then enter:

yagmail.register('mygmailusername', 'mygmailpassword')

@macloo Thanks for taking the time to post about your struggle. I updated the README. Is it now clearer?
