Python Simple Email Sender

A lightweight Python library for sending emails with attachments via SMTP.


Features

  • Send emails using SMTP protocol
  • Support for SSL encryption
  • Add attachments to emails
  • Environment variable-based configuration
  • Simple logging integration

Installation

pip install python-simple-email-sender

Usage

Basic Setup

First, set up your email credentials as environment variables:

export EMAIL_ADDRESS="your.email@gmail.com"
export EMAIL_PASSWORD="your-app-password-or-email-password"

Note: For Gmail accounts, you may need to use an App Password instead of your regular password, especially if you have 2-factor authentication enabled. https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords


Simple Example

from python_simple_email_sender import EmailSender

# Create an instance with default settings (Gmail SMTP)
sender = EmailSender()

# Send a simple email
sender.send_email(
    to_email=["recipient@example.com"],
    subject="Hello from Python",
    message="This is a test email sent using Python Simple Email Sender."
)

Custom SMTP Server

# For a different email provider
sender = EmailSender(
    server_name="smtp.yourprovider.com",
    server_port=587  # Use the appropriate port for your provider
)

Sending with Attachments

sender.send_email(
    to_email=["recipient@example.com", "another@example.com"],
    subject="Report Attached",
    message="Please find the attached report.",
    attachment_file="path/to/your/file.pdf"
)

Adding Multiple Attachments

sender = EmailSender()

# Create the email
sender.msg = MIMEMultipart()
sender.msg['From'] = sender.email_address
sender.msg['To'] = 'recipient@example.com'
sender.msg['Subject'] = 'Multiple Attachments'

# Add message body
text = MIMEText("Here are the files you requested.")
sender.msg.attach(text)

# Add multiple attachments
sender.add_attachment("document.pdf", subtype="pdf")
sender.add_attachment("data.csv", subtype="csv")
sender.add_attachment("image.png", subtype="png")

# Send the email
with smtplib.SMTP_SSL(sender.server_name, sender.server_port) as smtp_server:
    smtp_server.login(sender.email_address, sender.email_password)
    smtp_server.sendmail(
        from_addr=sender.email_address,
        to_addrs=['recipient@example.com'],
        msg=sender.msg.as_string()
    )
