A bunch of GMail + Python + Django

There is a nice library for Python - libGmail . Using this library is very easy to receive and send letters with GMail. And you can also make a POP or SMTP server from your account.

LibGmail can be used both with Python and in conjunction with any popular framework. For example, with Django .

For example, I use the following code to send a notification about the need to activate an account to a new user:
')

import libgmail
...

def activation (request):
to_email = request.user.email
activation_link = dontbeevil.com/activate/%s% request.COOKIES ["sessionid"]
ga = libgmail.GmailAccount (dontbeevil@gmail.com, "ourpassword")
ga.login ()
subject = "Service Administration"
msg = "Dear user! To activate your account, use this link:% s »% activation_link
gmsg = libgmail.GmailComposedMessage (to_email, subject, msg)
ga.sendMessage (gmsg)
...

Using LibGmail saved me from having to use my hoster’s built-in SMTP server. Plus, the lack of spam in the service mailbox :) All spam gets into GMail.
