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

smtp_config = {
    'sender': '[e-mail]',
    'host': 'smtp.example.com'
}

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( 
    smtp_config, 
    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

smtp_config = {
    'sender': '[e-mail]',
    'host': 'smtp.example.com',
    'port': 587,
    'password': '<secret password>'
}
template = {
    'smtp_config': smtp_config,
    'subject': 'How are you?',
    'body': 'Long time no see, we should get together!'
}
my_email = from_template(template)

Once you have the email object, sending it is as simple as specifying one or more recipients:

import emails

smtp_config = {
    'sender': '[e-mail]',
    'host': 'smtp.example.com'
}
my_email = emails.Email(smtp_config)
my_email.send('[e-mail]')
my_email.send(['[e-mail]', '[e-mail]'])
