PySendmail is a simple Python script that allows you to send e-mail alerts from the command line. Additionally, it can be imported as a module and incorporated into existing Python scripts.
Install using pip:
pip install -e git://github.com/chazlever/pysendmail.git#egg=pysendmail
Install using setup.py:
git clone git://github.com/chazlever/pysendmail.git
cd pysendmail
python setup.py install
The script reads server settings from a config file which can be created using
the config option as follows:
pysendmail --user 'username' --pass 'password' --server 'smtp.gmail.com' --port 587 config
To send e-mail, you can use the send option in a script or on the command
line as follows:
pysendmail -t 'some@email.com' -s 'Your Subject' -m 'Your Message' -a 'filename' send
For help using the application, use the --help flag on the command line:
pysendmail --help
