sendlix 1.0.0

Python SDK for the Sendlix gRPC API

Sendlix Python SDK

This package provides a Python implementation of the Sendlix gRPC SDK that aims for feature parity with the official reference client. It exposes the same high-level clients (EmailClient, GroupClient) and the same authentication helper (Auth).

Installation

pip install sendlix

Authentication

API keys are issued in the format secret.keyId. You can either pass the key string directly to a client or create a reusable Auth instance:

from sendlix import Auth, EmailClient

auth = Auth("sk_xxxxxxxxx.xxx")
email_client = EmailClient(auth)
# or
email_client = EmailClient("sk_xxxxxxxxx.xxx")

The token fetched by Auth is cached until it expires.

Available Clients

EmailClient

Send transactional emails, raw EML messages, or trigger group emails.

Methods:

• send_email(mail_options, additional_options=None) – send a regular email with to, cc, bcc, html/text, attachments, and inline images.
• send_eml_email(eml, additional_options=None) – upload raw EML content from a path, bytes, or buffer.
• send_group_email(group_mail) – broadcast to a predefined Sendlix group.

GroupClient

Manage recipients inside Sendlix groups.

• insert_email_into_group(group_id, email_records, fail_handling="ABORT")
• delete_email_from_group(group_id, email)
• contains_email_in_group(group_id, email)

Each method mirrors the semantics and error handling described in the reference SDK documentation.

Examples

Sending an email

from sendlix import EmailClient

client = EmailClient("sk_xxxxxxxxx.xxx")

response = client.send_email(
    {
        "from": {"email": "[e-mail]", "name": "Sender"},
        "to": ["[e-mail]"],
        "subject": "Hello World!",
        "html": "<h1>Welcome!</h1><p>This is a test email.</p>",
    }
)
print(response)

Adding emails to a group

from sendlix import GroupClient

group_client = GroupClient("sk_xxxxxxxxx.xxx")

group_client.insert_email_into_group(
    "groupId123",
    [
        {"email": "[e-mail]"},
        {
            "email": {"email": "[e-mail]", "name": "User B"},
            "substitutions": {"plan": "pro"},
        },
    ],
)

Development

• Regenerate gRPC stubs: .\build.cmd
• Run tests: pytest

Local quickstart

If you are working from a clone of this repository (instead of the published pip install sendlix package), make sure you run the code inside the provided virtual environment so that the correct dependency versions (especially protobuf>=5.29.0) are available:

python -m venv .venv
./.venv/Scripts/Activate.ps1
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install -e .[dev]

Running the SDK with an older global installation of google.protobuf (<5.29) will raise an ImportError: cannot import name 'runtime_version' when the generated gRPC stubs are imported. Activating the virtual environment (or upgrading protobuf in your global interpreter) resolves the issue.
