send_email function would be really useful about scraperwiki-python HOT 1 CLOSED

Definitely shouldn't be part of scraperwiki-python, there's nothing
specific to ScraperWiki about it!

So it should be in its own module, or better using one that someone
else has made. A quick Google finds one called 'mailer'.

Happy to install as default in boxes if you need it!

Something like this. Request for comment :)

import smtplib

FROM_USER = '[email protected]'


def send_email(recipient, subject, body, attach=None):
    headers = [
        "From: " + FROM_USER,
        "Subject: " + subject,
        "To: " + recipient,
        "MIME-Version: 1.0",
        "Content-Type: text/html"]
    headers = "\r\n".join(headers)

    server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost', 25)
    server.ehlo()
    server.sendmail(FROM_USER, recipient, headers + "\r\n\r\n" + body)
    server.close()
