SES-Mailer-3 0.15.5

A simple module to send email via AWS SES

SES Mailer 3

This is a fork of a fork, since the other projects haven't been updated. This version uses boto3 rather than the out-of-date boto module.

A simple module to send email via AWS SES

You can use it as standalone or with Flask

Requirements:

• AWS Credentials
• boto3
• Jinja

---

Install

pip install ses-mailer-3

Usage

Setup

from ses_mailer import Mail

mail = Mail(aws_access_key_id="####",
            aws_secret_access_key="####",
            region="us-east-1",
            sender="[e-mail]",
            reply_to="[e-mail]",
            template="./email-templates")

Alternatively, if you want to use botocore's default credentials lookup scheme, you can pass aws_boto_auth_lookup=True instead of providing keys.

Send Basic Email

mail.send(to="[e-mail]",
          subject="My Email subject",
          body="My message body")

Send Template Email

mail.send_template(template="welcome.txt", 
                   to="[e-mail]", 
                   name="Ricky Roze", 
                   user_id=12739)

Initiate with Flask

from flask import Flask
from ses_mailer import Mail

app = Flask(__name__)

mail = Mail()
mail.init_app(app)

Templates

You can use pre-made templates to send email

The template must be a Jinja template, containing at least the following blocks:

- subject
- body

welcome.txt

{% block subject %}
    Welcome {{name}} to our site 
{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
    Dear {{name}} this is the content of the message 
    
    Thank you very much for your visiting us
{% endblock %}

File Templates:

Place you template files inside of a directory, let's say: email-templates

Inside of email-templates we have the following files:

/email-templates
    |
    |_ welcome.txt
    |
    |_ lost-password.txt
    
    
mail = Mail(aws_access_key_id="####",
             aws_secret_access_key="####",
             sender="[e-mail]",
             reply_to="[e-mail]",
             template="./email-templates")

Dictionary based templates

If you don't want to create files, you can dictionary based templates

templates = {
    "welcome.txt": """
        {% block subject %}I'm subject{% endblock %}
        {% block body %}How are you {{name}}?{% endblock %}
    """,
    "lost-password.txt": """
        {% block subject %}Lost Password{% endblock %}
        {% block body %}Hello {{ name }}. 
        Here's your new password: {{ new_password }} 
        {% endblock %}
    """,    
}

mail = Mail(aws_access_key_id="####",
             aws_secret_access_key="####",
             sender="[e-mail]",
             reply_to="[e-mail]",
             template=templates)

To send the email for either files or dictionary based templates:

new_password = "mynewpassword"
mail.send_template("lost-password.txt", to="[e-mail]", name="Lolo", new_password=new_password)
