@kgasiorowski you can add a readme for this with some code examples to remind us how to use this lib in an app... You can push a commit right on development for this one

We need to write some code which will allow us to send emails.

The django.core.mail is a very good starting point in where to look for how to implement this. They include multiple backends, including: a dummy one, one that prints to the console, one that writes to files, and one which actually sends emails. Plenty of useful code there to work with. The dummy one is probably most important, since we need a way to test this stuff without reaching our sendgrid API limits.

We'll be using sendgrid to actually send the emails. It seems like sendgrid has a built-in way of handling connections and post requests and such, so hopefully that will work to simplify the code we're working with from django. We will need API keys for that, which is probably a @bsnacks000 thing

We should also bring in jinja2 and create a local email template to keep things nice and clean.

@kgasiorowski For boiler:

• python package config with poetry
• for deps lets just try to keep it sendgrid for now
• the usual dev deps (pytest, pytest-cov, mypy, black) to start
• tests/ package with a single smoke test
• setversion.py with initial version commit
• CI to run the tests with pytest

@kgasiorowski sendgrid_client is probably more suitable for this repo it just occurred to me... So lets just the package name etc.
