easymail

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)
