Development Environment
Clone the repo
https://github.com/railsware/mailtrap-python.git
cd mailtrap-python
Install tox
tox is an environment orchestrator. We use it to setup local environments, run tests and execute linters.
python -m pip install --user tox
python -m tox --help
To setup virtual environments, run tests and linters use:
tox
It will create virtual environments with all installed dependencies for each available python interpreter (starting from python3.6) on your machine.
By default, they will be available in {project}/.tox/ directory. So, for instance, to activate python3.11 environment, run the following:
source .tox/py311/bin/activate
Information for version 1 users
If you are a version 1 user, it is advised that you upgrade to Sendria, which is the same package, but under a new name, and with new features. However, you can also continue using the last v1 release by locking the version in pip:
# To use the FORMER version of the mailtrap package, now known as Sendria:
pip install --force-reinstall -v "mailtrap==1.0.1"

The project is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.
