About

Envelopes is a wrapper for Python’s email and smtplib modules. It aims to make working with outgoing e-mail in Python simple and fun.

Short example

from envelopes import Envelope

envelope = Envelope(
    from_addr=u'[e-mail]',
    from_name=u'From Example',
    to_addr=u'[e-mail]',
    to_name=u'To Example',
    subject=u'Envelopes demo',
    text_body=u"I'm a helicopter!"
)
envelope.add_attachment('/Users/bilbo/Pictures/helicopter.jpg')
envelope.send('smtp.googlemail.com', login='[e-mail]',
              password='password', tls=True)

Features

Envelopes allows you to easily:

• Provide e-mail addresses with or without name part.

• Set text, HTML or both bodies according to your needs.

• Provide any number of CC and BCC addresses.

• Set standard (e.g. Reply-To) and custom (e.g. X-Mailer) headers.

• Attach files of any kind without hassle.

• Use any charset natively supported by Python’s unicode type in addresses, bodies, headers and attachment file names.

Project status

This is the first public release of the code. It was extracted from a few minor production apps.

Envelopes has been developed and tested with Python 2.7. Tests for other versions will follow shortly after the release.
