The email package in pythons standard library is pretty low level. Easymail aims to add an abstraction layer on top that sets some (hopefully) sane defaults.
These defaults include:
- using utf-8 encoding by default.
- important headers (like Date)
A simple example:
from easymail import Email
from smtplib import SMTP
e = Email('My Name <mymail@somedomain.com>', 'recipient@otherdomain.org')
e.subject = 'hello world'
e.body = 'with some non-äscii charöcters'
smtp = SMTP('mymailserver.com')
smtp.sendmail(*e.args)Slightly more advanced:
from easymail import Email, Attachment
from smtplib import SMTP
e = Email('My Name <mymail@somedomain.com>', 'recipient@otherdomain.org')
e.subject = 'hello world'
e.body = 'with some non-äscii charöcters'
e.attachments.append(Attachment('./path/to/picture.png'))
e.attachments.append(Attachment('./path/to/document.pdf'))
smtp = SMTP('mymailserver.com')
smtp.sendmail(*e.args)Pure Python 3.5+
