py-emails

Simple wrapper around email and smtplib for composing and sending email messages in an intuitive, simple interface. Pure python, no dependencies outside of the standard library

Installation and use

Install with pip or your favorite package manager: pip install py-emails

Emails can be created declaratively:

from emails import Email

first_attachment = {
    'filename': 'example.png', 
    'content': open('example.png', 'rb').read()
}
other_attachment = {
    'filename': 'example.csv', 
    'content': open('example.csv', 'rb').read()
}
my_email = Email(
    sender='[e-mail]', 
    subject='How are you?'
    body='Long time no see, we should get together!',
    attachments=[first_attachment, other_attachment]
)

Or using a template dictionary:

from emails import from_template

first_attachment = {
    'filename': 'example.png', 
    'content': open('example.png', 'rb').read()
}
other_attachment = {
    'filename': 'example.csv', 
    'content': open('example.csv', 'rb').read()
}
template = {
    'sender': '[e-mail]',
    'subject': 'How are you?',
    'body': 'Long time no see, we should get together!',
    'attachments': [first_attachment, other_attachment]
}
my_email = from_template(template)

Once you have the email object, sending it is as simple as specifying recipient(s) and an SMTP host:

recipients = ['[e-mail]', '[e-mail]']
my_email.send(recipients, 'smtp.example.com')
my_email.send('[e-mail]', 'smtp.example.com')
