email-to
Simplyify sending HTML emails
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (last commit 2019-07-23) and targets only Python 2.6–3.5, all end-of-life. Its dependencies (markdown, premailer) may have drifted. Modern Python projects should use actively maintained alternatives like Flask-Mail, django-anymail, or direct SMTP with email.mime for better compatibility, security updates, and support. Install only if you are locked into legacy Python and cannot upgrade.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires markdown and premailer as runtime dependencies.
- SMTP server credentials must be provided at runtime.
- Low friction to install, but the package is abandoned—last commit was 2019-07-23, over six years ago.

What it is and what it does
email-to is a thin wrapper around Python's standard email and SMTP modules that reduces boilerplate when sending HTML emails. It accepts markdown content, converts it to HTML using markdown, inlines CSS styles using premailer, and handles SMTP connection and message sending in a few method calls instead of the dozen or more lines required by the standard library.
The package provides three main patterns: quick_email for one-off sends, a message builder for constructing emails line-by-line (useful in monitoring scripts), and deferred server binding for cases where SMTP details are not known upfront. It is abandoned as of 2019, with no updates since its 0.1.0 release in 2017, and targets only Python 2.6–3.5.
Use it for
- Sending alert or status emails from monitoring scripts where you want markdown formatting without boilerplate.
- Building HTML emails with inline CSS styling from simple markdown content in legacy Python 2 or early Python 3 codebases.
- Reducing SMTP setup code in small scripts that send a few templated emails with consistent styling.
- Prototyping email-sending logic quickly without writing full MIME multipart message construction.
- Conditionally building email bodies line-by-line based on runtime state (e.g., appending errors or warnings).
