Project description
template-mailer
A simple python client for sending mass emails from html templates.
Description
The template-mailer lets you fill variables in html-templates and send the populated content via email. It makes use of the jinja2 templating langauge (Reference).
Usage
Provide your html-template as a string to the render_template-method:
>>> from template_mailer import render_template
>>> template = "<html> foo: {{ variable }} </html>"
>>> data = {"variable": "bar"}
>>> render_template(template, data)
'<html> foo: bar </html>'
Use the SMTPClient to send the rendered template as html-email with the SMTPClient:
>>> from template_mailer import SMTPClient
>>> smtp_client = SMTPClient()
>>> smtp_client.send("targetemailalldress@test.test", "subject", "message")
By default the client will look for the following environment variables:
SMTP_HOST,
SMTP_PORT (starttls),
EMAIL_USER (your email address),
EMAIL_PASSWORD
You can provide the SMTP configurations in plain form as well:
>>> smtp_client = SMTPClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587, "your_email@gmail.coim", "your_password")
Options
Encryption
The default email encryption is TLS. An SSL option is not yet provided and will be part of a future release.
Missing data
The render_template method will throw an error if you don't provide enough data to populate all template-variables:
>>> from template_mailer import render_template
>>> template = "<html> foo: {{ variable }} ham: {{ second_variable }} </html>"
>>> data = {"variable": "bar"}
>>> render_template(template, data)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'second_variable' is undefined
To change this policy you can provide the option undefined="allow" to the render_template-method:
>>> from template_mailer import render_template
>>> template = "<html> foo: {{ variable }} ham: {{ second_variable }} </html>"
>>> data = {"variable": "bar"}
>>> render_template(template, data, undefined="allow")
'<html> foo: bar ham: </html>'
Logging
By default the SMTPClient uses the root-logger with log-level INFO. You can inject your own logger into the client:
>>> from template_mailer import SMTPClient
>>> import logging
>>> some_logger = logging.getLogger("demo")
>>> smtp_client = SMTPClient(logger=some_logger)
