{"categories":[{"label":"Email","url":"https://skillfed.io/packages/category/communications-email"}],"enrichment":{"capability":"Redmail simplifies sending emails with Python by wrapping SMTP into a high-level API that handles attachments, Jinja templating, embedded images, and formatted tables.","skillfed_tags":["email-automation","smtp-wrapper","abandoned"],"use_cases":["Send templated notification emails from a web application using Jinja variables for personalization.","Automate bulk email reports with embedded charts, tables, or attachments from a scheduled task.","Build a contact form or user signup flow that sends confirmation emails with minimal boilerplate code.","Generate and email PDF invoices or receipts with attachments to customers.","Send alerts or logs via email with formatted HTML tables and embedded images."],"what_it_does":"Redmail is a Python email-sending library that abstracts away the complexity of the standard library's smtplib and email.mime modules. Instead of manually constructing MIME objects and managing SMTP connections, you instantiate an EmailSender, configure it with a host and port, and call send() with subject, recipients, and body content. It supports attachments, Jinja2 templating for dynamic email bodies, embedded images, formatted HTML tables, and cc/bcc recipients.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who need to send emails programmatically without boilerplate. Its main dependency is jinja2, which powers template rendering. However, the project is no longer maintained\u2014the last release was 1266 days ago\u2014so it receives no updates, bug fixes, or security patches. It remains functional for basic email tasks but carries the risk of incompatibility with future Python or email provider changes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a simple email-sending abstraction and are comfortable with an abandoned package. The API is clean, the single dependency (jinja2) is stable, and there are no known vulnerabilities. Install it for prototypes, internal tools, or low-risk automation. Avoid it for production systems where you need active maintenance, security updates, or support for evolving email standards."},"id":"redmail","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/redmail","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/redmail.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/redmail/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-02-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"redmail","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Email sending library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":100950,"position":12967,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.0"}
