pySMTP

pySMTP

An easy-to-use python library to send emails within seconds. Based on the pre-installed smtplib library.

IMPORTANT

Gmail users must turn on 'Less secure app access' in order to avoid smtplib errors. You can turn it on like so:

• go to 'Manage your google account'

• then click on the 'security' tab

• scroll down until you find 'Less secure app access' and click on the 'Turn on access' button

• you should be asked to 'Allow less secure apps' again. turn it on.

NOTE: turning this feature is generally not a good idea as it isn't safe (see why online)

I suggest you continue reading the 'SAFER ALTERNATIVE' below.

SAFER ALTERNATIVE:

You can use an app password. See how to make one below:

• go to 'Manage your google account'

• then click on the 'security' tab

• find 'Signing into Google'

• click on 'App passwords'

• type out your password

• change 'Select app' to 'Mail'

• change 'Select device' to the device you are currently using

• Hit 'Generate' to get your password

Use the newly-generated password in place of sender_password

Usage

import pySMTP
pySMTP.send_email(sender_email, sender_password, receiver_email, email_subject, email_body)

Example

import pySMTP
pySMTP.send_email('[e-mail]', 'my_password', '[e-mail]', 'Test', 'hello. I sent this email with python!')

Help function

import pySMTP
pySMTP.help()

Requirements

pre-installed smtplib library.
