robo-email

Reusable email report rendering and delivery utilities for automation projects.

The application remains responsible for its report data, branding/template, recipient source, environment configuration, and subject. robo-email provides Outlook-compatible rendering and generic PowerShell SMTP delivery.

Publishing

For maintainers, preview a protected release with python tools/release.py --dry-run; use --publish to prepare the version with Poetry and request the GitHub/PyPI release. See private compiled-release instructions.

Setup help

From the project directory:

py -3.12 .\tools\setup_venv.py --help

This setup supports -h and --help; it has no additional command-line options. Help lists supported choices and defaults without creating an environment or installing packages. Unknown options are rejected before setup begins.

Poetry ownership

Setup asks Poetry to create or reuse the project environment and runs Poetry lock/check/install for project dependencies. Existing environments are preserved. Pip is used only to bootstrap the pinned Poetry tool; project libraries are managed through the manifest and lockfile.

Setup is self-contained in tools/setup_venv.py; no separate poetry_environment.py or workspace parent tools are required. It retains automatic Poetry 2.5.1 bootstrap, existing environment reuse, Python 3.12 validation, foreign environment isolation, target verification, lock/check/install, shared user-owned Poetry for publishing, dependency checks and activation guidance. The tool environment defaults to ~/.robo/poetry/poetry-2.5.1; set ROBO_POETRY_HOME to override its parent directory. Project dependencies remain in this project's .venv. No administrator rights are required.

Compiled distribution (maintainers)

Use python scripts/github/build_compiled_wheel.py --plan to review the protection inventory and python scripts/github/build_compiled_wheel.py to build an audited native wheel. See compiled distributions for requirements, platform builds, readable entry-point exceptions and release instructions.

Repository environment setup

From this repository, run python scripts/setup.py --help to see every supported option, then python scripts/setup.py with Python 3.12. Setup uses Poetry 2.5.1 and preserves the existing repository-specific installation and validation steps.

Setup security updates

Run python scripts/setup.py with Python 3.12 to secure the project environment. Setup verifies pip is at least 26.2.2, upgrading older pip through the official SHA256-pinned wheel before downloading Poetry. Newer stable pip is preserved. Poetry 2.5.1 tooling requires certifi>=2026.10.19. Existing external Poetry tools with an outdated CA bundle are not used or modified; setup creates a secure bootstrap environment where allowed. Appian setup needs --bootstrap-poetry when no secure external Poetry installation is available.

Project dependencies and lockfiles stay under Poetry management. If certifi is already locked below the security minimum, setup updates that lock through Poetry and stops if the project constraints cannot resolve a safe version. A project without certifi in its lockfile does not need to add it solely for the Poetry tool. Downloads or verification failures stop setup before it reports success.

Standalone setup

Environment creation, secure tooling bootstrap and Poetry validation are included in the project setup implementation. Run python scripts/setup.py --help; a separate environment helper module is not required. Project setup options and existing environment names are preserved.
