Simple library to send email using GMail (includes background worker and logging classes) [Python 2/3 support]

Project description

gmail
-----

The 'gmail' module provides a simple wrapper around the smtplib/email
modules to provide an easy programmatic interface for sending email using
the GMail SMTP service.

The module provides the following classes:

GMail - Basic interface to GMail SMTP service
GMailWorker - Background worker to send messages asynchronously
(uses multiprocessing module)
GMailHandler - GMail handler for logging framework
Message - Wrapper around email.Message class simplifying
creation of email message objects

The module also provides a cli interface to send email if run directly
(python -mgmail.cli)

Basic usage:

>>> gmail = GMail('A.User <user@gmail.com>','password')
>>> msg = Message('Test Message',to='xyz <xyz@xyz.com>',text='Hello')
>>> gmail.send(msg)

For examples of use see cli.py and test_gmail.py/test_message.py
