The package wraps Mandrill's REST API behind a Python interface, allowing developers to authenticate with an API key and call methods like users.ping() or send operations. It depends on requests for HTTP communication and docopt for CLI argument parsing.\n\nThe package is now deprecated and officially replaced by mailchimp-transactional. It has received no maintenance since April 2021 and is marked as inactive. While it carries no known security vulnerabilities, its abandonment means no bug fixes, feature updates, or support for API changes will be provided. New projects should use mailchimp-transactional instead; this package should only be considered for legacy systems already locked into Mandrill that cannot migrate.","worth_installing":"No. This package is explicitly deprecated and abandoned. Do not install it for new projects\u2014use mailchimp-transactional instead. Only consider it if you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it and cannot be refactored. Even then, plan a migration path, as the underlying Mandrill service may have changed or been sunset since the SDK's last update in 2021."},"id":"mandrill","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mandrill","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mandrill.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mandrill/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-04-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mandrill","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Deprecated.
