Red Mail: Send Emails in Python#
Red Mail is a Python library for sending emails. It makes sending emails very trivial regardless of whether you need to embed images, plots, tables or attach documents. It also provides you convenient templating options and it is easy to create email alerts, email reports or client notifications with it.
Visit the source code from Github or releases in Pypi page.
Why Red Mail?#
Sending emails is a pretty straight forward task. However, the standard SMTP libraries don’t make it particularly easy and sending emails SHOULD NOT look like this:
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
msg = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
msg['Subject'] = 'An example email'
msg['From'] = 'me@example.com'
msg['To'] = 'you@example.com'
part1 = MIMEText("Hello!", 'plain')
part2 = MIMEText("<h1>Hello!</h1>", 'html')
msg.attach(part1)
msg.attach(part2)
# Send the message via our own SMTP server.
s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost', port=0)
s.send_message(msg)
s.quit()
It should look like this:
from redmail import EmailSender
email = EmailSender(host="localhost", port=0)
email.send(
subject="An example email",
sender="me@example.com",
receivers=['you@example.com'],
text="Hello!",
html="<h1>Hello!</h1>"
)
There are also other reasons to use Red Mail:
And it is well tested and documented
