outbox

outbox is simplest SMTP client you'll ever see. It's 100% synchronous...

Usage

Give your app an outbox easily:

from outbox import Outbox, Email, Attachment

outbox = Outbox(username='username', password='password',
 server='server', port=1234, mode='SSL')

outbox.send(Email(subject='my subject', body='some nice sentiment'), [
 Attachment('kittens.jpg', filepath='/path/to/kittens.jpg'),
 Attachment('my-transient-file.bin', raw='some raw data'),
])

outbox.send(Email(subject='my subject', body='< b >SOME REALLY NICE SENTIMENT< /b >', type='html'), [
 Attachment('kittens.jpg', filepath='/path/to/kittens.jpg'),
 Attachment('my-transient-file.bin', raw='some raw data'),
])

Installation

Installing Outbox.py is simple:

 pip install outbox

What is new in this release:

• Handle passing a single recipient as a string, instead of forcing the recipient to be a list.
• Handle utf8 email properly. Thanks, Zhang Mingyuan! I doubt I've covered every use case, so the charset to use can be passed in when constructing an Email.
• Added a sender_address method to the Outbox class, for when the username used for authentication isn't good enough.

What is new in version 0.1.3:

• Made a few lines of code a bit easier to follow. No functional changes.
• Updated the license to actually hold copyright in my name, instead of Kenneth Reitz. Does this mean he owned copyright on the library up until now? Can I even change the license? I'm unsure.

What is new in version 0.1.2:

• Made Outbox a context manager, so it can be used with the with statement. As noted in the example, this has the added benefit of performing a single login to send all emails, you should get better performance using a with statement.
• Removed raw and filepath arguments to Attachment. They were both begging to point to a file-like object, so that's what you have now - an argument called fileobj
• Fixed annoying encoding error when trying to send binary attachments.
• The Email object does not have a type argument anymore. Instead, there is body and html_body, so you can send an email with both html and plain-text bodies.

Requirements:

• Python
