Elegant and simple email library for python 2/3

Project description

Modern email handling in python.

Features

  • HTML-email message abstraction

  • Method to transform html body:

    • css inlining (using peterbe’s premailer)

    • image inlining

  • DKIM signature

  • Message loaders

  • Send directly or via django email backend

Examples:

Create message:

import emails
message = emails.html(html=open('letter.html'),
                      subject='Friday party',
                      mail_from=('Company Team', 'contact@mycompany.com'))

Attach files or inline images:

message.attach(data=open('event.ics'), filename='Event.ics')
message.attach(data=open('image.png'), filename='image.png',
               content_disposition='inline')

Use templates:

from emails.template import JinjaTemplate as T

message = emails.html(subject=T('Payment Receipt No.{{ billno }}'),
                      html=T('<p>Dear {{ name }}! This is a receipt...'),
                      mail_from=('ABC', 'robot@mycompany.com'))

message.send(to=('John Brown', 'jbrown@gmail.com'),
             render={'name': 'John Brown', 'billno': '141051906163'})

Add DKIM signature:

message.dkim(key=open('my.key'), domain='mycompany.com', selector='newsletter')

Generate email.message or rfc822 string:

m = message.as_message()
s = message.as_string()

Send and get response from smtp server:

r = message.send(to=('John Brown', 'jbrown@gmail.com'),
                 smtp={'host':'smtp.mycompany.com', 'port': 465, 'ssl': True})
assert r.status_code == 250

Or send via Django email backend:

::

from django.core.mail import get_connection from emails.message import DjangoMessageProxy c = django.core.mail.get_connection() c.send_messages([DjangoMessageProxy(message), ])

HTML transformer

Message HTML body can be modified with ‘transformer’ object:

>>> message = emails.Message(html="<img src='promo.png'>")
>>> message.transformer.apply_to_images(func=lambda src, **kw: 'http://mycompany.tld/images/'+src)
>>> message.transformer.save()
>>> message.html
u'<html><body><img src="http://mycompany.tld/images/promo.png"></body></html>'

Code example to make images inline:

>>> message = emails.Message(html="<img src='promo.png'>")
>>> message.attach(filename='promo.png', data=open('promo.png'))
>>> message.attachments['promo.png'].is_inline = True
>>> message.transformer.synchronize_inline_images()
>>> message.transformer.save()
>>> message.html
u'<html><body><img src="cid:promo.png"></body></html>'

Loaders

python-emails ships with couple of loaders.

Load message from url:

import emails.loader
message = emails.loader.from_url(url="http://xxx.github.io/newsletter/2015-08-14/index.html")

Load from zipfile or directory:

message = emails.loader.from_zipfile(open('design_pack.zip'))
message = emails.loader.from_directory('/home/user/design_pack')

Zipfile and directory loaders require at least one html file (with “html” extension).

Install

Install from pypi:

$ [sudo] pip install emails

Install on Ubuntu from PPA:

$ [sudo] add-apt-repository ppa:lavrme/python-emails-ppa
$ [sudo] apt-get update
$ [sudo] apt-get install python-emails

TODO

  • Documentation

  • 100% test coverage

  • More accurate smtp session handling

  • ESP integration: Amazon SES, SendGrid, …

  • deb package (ubuntu package almost done)

  • rpm package

  • Patch pydkim for performance (i.e. preload key once, not each time)

  • Flask extension
