Plain Mail
An email message with plain text or html content. Place the following into file plain.py:
from wheezy.core.mail import MailMessage
from wheezy.core.mail import SMTPClient
mail = MailMessage(
subject='Welcome to Python',
content='Hello World!',
from_addr='someone@dev.local',
to_addrs=['you@dev.local'])
client = SMTPClient()
client.send(mail)
You can send this out with the following command:
env/bin/python plain.pyIf you need to send a HTML message just replace content with HTML, set content_type to 'text/html' and charset per encoding of your message.
from wheezy.core.mail import MailMessage
from wheezy.core.mail import SMTPClient
content = """\
<html><body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body></html>"""
mail = MailMessage(
subject='Welcome to Python',
content=content,
content_type='text/html',
charset='utf-8',
from_addr='someone@dev.local',
to_addrs=['you@dev.local'])
client = SMTPClient()
client.send(mail)
Optional parameters to SMTPClient let you set host, port, use of tls, credentials, etc.
Mail with Attachment
An email message with attached document. Place the following into file attachment.py:
from wheezy.core.mail import Attachment
from wheezy.core.mail import MailMessage
from wheezy.core.mail import SMTPClient
mail = MailMessage(
subject='Welcome to Python',
content='Hello World!',
from_addr='someone@dev.local',
to_addrs=['you@dev.local'])
mail.attachments.append(Attachment(
name='welcome.txt',
content='Hello World!'))
client = SMTPClient()
client.send(mail)
You can use factory method Attachment.from_file to create an instance of attachment for a file from filesystem.
Alternative Mail Views
You provide a convenient way to email recipients to view your message in plain text or html with optional rich content including images, etc. Let download python logo as an image for our HTML mail view:wget http://www.python.org/images/python-logo.gifPlace the following into file alternative.py:
import os.path
from wheezy.core.mail import Alternative
from wheezy.core.mail import MailMessage
from wheezy.core.mail import Related
from wheezy.core.mail import SMTPClient
mail = MailMessage(
subject='Welcome to Python',
content='Hello World!',
from_addr='someone@dev.local',
to_addrs=['you@dev.local'])
alt = Alternative("""\
<html><body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p><img src="cid:python-logo.gif" /></p>
</body></html>""", content_type='text/html')
curdir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
path = os.path.join(curdir, 'python-logo.gif')
alt.related.append(Related.from_file(path))
mail.alternatives.append(alt)
client = SMTPClient()
client.send(mail)
Recipients of your email message who prefer plain text will be able to see plain text version, while users who has rich mail client capable to display HTML will see your message formatted and with an image.The source code is here.
