Django Mail Templated

Send emails using Django template system

This is a tiny wrapper around the standard EmailMessage class and send_mail() function that provides an easy way to create email messages using the Django template system. Just pass template_name and context as the first parameters then use as normal.

Features

Built with OOP, KISS and flexibility in mind. Really small and simple, but yet full-featured (I hope).
Extends and mimics the built-in Django's EmailMessage and send_mail(). Compatible as much as possible.
Fully supports Django template system including template inheritance (thanks to BradWhittington for the note about the problem).
Supports any possible template engines and loaders.
Supports serialisation (thanks to arjandepooter).
Fully covered with tests.
Tested with Django 1.4-1.9.
Compatible with Python 3.

Quick start

Run:

pip install django-mail-templated

And register the app in your settings file:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'mail_templated'
)

Create template:

{% extends "mail_templated/base.tpl" %}

{% block subject %}
Hello {{ user.name }}
{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
{{ user.name }}, this is a plain text message.
{% endblock %}

{% block html %}
{{ user.name }}, this is an <strong>html</strong> message.
{% endblock %}

Send message:

from mail_templated import send_mail
send_mail('email/hello.tpl', {'user': user}, from_email, [user.email])

Advanced usage:

from mail_templated import EmailMessage

message = EmailMessage('email/hello.tpl', {'user': user}, from_email,
                       to=[user.email])
# TODO: Add more useful commands here.
message.send()
