Python Gmailer

While writing random API scripts and other short one off scripts, I usually need to send an email. Since my scripts usually do not live on a mail server, I ended up using this piece of code a lot. It uses the smtplib module of the standard library so it doesn’t have any dependencies outside of standard python.

It’s a simple python module for sending a text/plain email from a valid gmail account. After importing, use it like so:

gmail = GMail('username', 'password')
gmail.send_email('This is the subject', 'To address')

Find the full module here as a github gist.
