: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
|
||
|
