Installation 📦

In order to run the program please follow the instructions 🏁:

Files

We need to create 3 different files

▪️ joke.py (Allows us to ask to the users to enter the data and save it in the database)

▪️ main.py (Will send an email with a random Joke to the users using smtplib and an api)

▪️ hidden.py (Containt the information about the database)

❗ IMPORTANT : Create a database connection in the file hidden with all info about the db , we will need this info in the main.py and joke.py

def db_connection():
    return {"database":"",
                        "host":"",
                        "user":"",
                        "password":"",
