I’ve used the version 0.5 with Python 2.6. For send messages to, by example, Gmail, you need a line like this “server.starttls()” before the login command.
The module is great!

I just updated mailer to version 0.3. Please see the mailer home page for the latest version, documentation, and code samples.

@MordicusEtCubitus You're quite right. I did fix this on the module's pypi page, and I plan to fix the example in my next code update.

I think the example should be rewrite has:

from mailer import Mailer
from mailer import Message

*server* = Mailer(‘smtp.example.com’)

msg = Message(From=”me@example.com”, To=”you@example.com”)
msg.Subject = “テキストメール”
msg.Body = “これは、日本語のキストメールでございます。”
msg.charset = “utf-8″

server.send(msg)

Because when customizing the example, and write this:
new_msg = mailer.Message()
we’ve got an error attribute because mailer variable override the mailer module

@David

Good point. I think I’ll change the API spec so that “To” can be a string or an iterable, and if it’s a string, it’s assumed to be one address.

It seems to me that it’s inherently fragile to keep the To-list (recipients) as a single string. What if I’m sending a message to ‘”Sammy Davis, Jr.” ‘? The quote-escaping is tricky (and probably already handled by the email package).

How about accepting a list of strings, and storing the list?
