:mod:`email`: Examples
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Here are a few examples of how to use the :mod:`email` package to read, write,
|
|
and send simple email messages, as well as more complex MIME messages.
|
|
|
|
First, let's see how to create and send a simple text message:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-simple.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
And parsing RFC822 headers can easily be done by the parse(filename) or
|
|
parsestr(message_as_string) methods of the Parser() class:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-headers.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of how to send a MIME message containing a bunch of family
|
|
pictures that may be residing in a directory:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-mime.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of how to send the entire contents of a directory as an email
|
|
message: [1]_
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-dir.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of how to unpack a MIME message like the one
|
|
above, into a directory of files:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-unpack.py
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of how to create an HTML message with an alternative plain
|
|
text version: [2]_
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-alternative.py
|
|
|
|
|

Examples using the Provisional API
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Here is a reworking of the last example using the provisional API. To make
|
|
things a bit more interesting, we include a related image in the html part, and
|
|
we save a copy of what we are going to send to disk, as well as sending it.
|
|
|
|
This example also shows how easy it is to include non-ASCII, and simplifies the
|
|
sending of the message using the :meth:`.send_message` method of the
|
|
:mod:`smtplib` module.
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-alternative-new-api.py
|
|
|
|
If we were instead sent the message from the last example, here is one
|
|
way we could process it:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../includes/email-read-alternative-new-api.py
|
|
|
|
Up to the prompt, the output from the above is::
|
|
|
|
To: Penelope Pussycat <"penelope@example.com">, Fabrette Pussycat <"fabrette@example.com">
|
|
From: Pepé Le Pew <pepe@example.com>
