Installing and using the library
First, you need to install the library using pip:
$ pip install pyemail_sender

Then, import it and initialize it like so:
from pyemail_sender import GmailPyEmailSender

email_conf = {'type': 'gmail',
'config': {'api_key': 'your api key', 'email_address': '[email protected]'}}
pymail = GmailPyEmailSender(config=email_conf)

If you want to use a yml file to load the configuration, you can use the PyEmailSenderConfig class:
from pyemail_sender import PyEmailSenderConfig
import os

config_path = str(os.path.join('confs', 'conf.yml'))
config = PyEmailSenderConfig(config_src=config_path)
email_conf = config.get_pyemail_sender_config()

Two example YAML files can be found in
the confs folder.
For more details on how to use this YAML configuration loader see
this Readme.
Examples of usage
Send Simple Email
pymail.send_email(subject='A simple email',
to=[email_conf['email_address']],
text='Email body text goes here')

Send HTML Email
pymail.send_email(subject='A simple HTML email',
to=[email_conf['email_address']],
html='<h1>Email body with HTML goes here</h1>')

Send Email with all the arguments
pymail.send_email(subject='Email with all possible arguments',
sender=email_conf['email_address'],
to=[email_conf['email_address']],
cc=[email_conf['email_address']],
bcc=[email_conf['email_address']],
reply_to=email_conf['email_address'],
html='<h1>Test <b>HTML</b> body</h1>',
attachments=['my_file.txt'])

All of these examples can be found
in example.py.
Manually install the library
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for
development and testing purposes.
Prerequisites
You need to have a machine with
anaconda installed and
any Bash based shell (e.g. zsh) installed.
$ conda -V
conda 4.10.1

$ echo $SHELL
/usr/bin/zsh

All the installation steps are being handled by
the Makefile.
First, modify the python version (min_python) and everything else you need in
the settings.ini.
Then, execute the following commands:
$ make create_env
$ conda activate pyemail_sender
$ make dist

Now you are ready to use and modify the library.

Update PyPI package
This is mainly for future reference for the developers of this project. First,
create a file called ~/.pypirc with your pypi login details, as follows:
[pypi]
username = your_pypi_username
password = your_pypi_password

Then, modify the python version (min_python), project status (status), release version (version)
and everything else you need in
