bote 0.9.0

Send email messages

Bote

"Bote" is German for messenger or courier. The bote library currently just sends plain-text email from localhost or a remote SMTP server.

There are plenty of libraries for this. My reasons to write another one:

• Modularity: I outsourced this code from my exoskeleton library.
• Extensive testing (currently this is a beta version!)
• Type-Hints in the code (PEP 484)
• Good error messages
• Enforce that any connection to a SMTP server - except localhost / 127.0.0.1 - is encrypted.
• Automatically wrap messages to 80 characters.

How to use it

import bote

mail_settings = {
    'server': 'smtp.example.com',
    'server_port': 587,
    'encryption': 'starttls',
    'username': 'example',
    'passphrase': 'example',
    'recipient': '[e-mail]',
    'sender': '[e-mail]'}

mailer = bote.Mailer(mail_settings)

mailer.send_mail('Test bote', 'It worked!')
