Python bindings for deltachat-core using CFFI

Project description

This package provides bindings to the delta-core C-library which provides imap/smtp/crypto handling as well as chat/group/messages handling to Android, Desktop and IO user interfaces.

Install

First you need to execute all the build steps to install the delta-core C-library, see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core/blob/master/README.md#build

Next, you need to perform:

pip install -e .

Afterwards you should be able to successfully import the bindings:

python -c "import deltachat"

Running tests

Install the delta-core C-library and the deltachat bindings (see _Install) and then type the following to execute tests:

pip install tox
tox

If you want to run functional tests that run against real e-mail accounts, generate a “liveconfig” file where each lines contains account settings, for example:

# 'liveconfig' file specifying imap/smtp accounts
addr=some-email@example.org mail_pw=password
addr=other-email@example.org mail_pw=otherpassword

And then run the tests with this live-accounts config file:

tox -- --liveconfig liveconfig
