Turbomail Integration with Pyramid

Asked 6/6, 2011 at 22:42 Answered 14/6, 2011 at 7:8

I am in need of a method to send an email from a Pyramid application. I know of pyramid_mailer, but it seems to have a fairly limited message class. I don't understand if it's possible to write the messages from pyramid_mailer using templates to generate the body of the email. Further, I haven't seen anything regarding whether rich-text is supported, or if it's just simple plain-text.

Previously, I was using Turbomail with the Pylons framework. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any adapters available for TurboMail for Pyramid. I know that TurboMail can be extended for additional frameworks, but have no idea where I would even start such a task. Has anyone written an adapter for Pyramid or can point me in the right direction of what would be required to do so?

There is now integration package for pyramid called pypi.python.org/pypi/pyramid_marrowmailer – Hotchpot 7/12, 2012 at 17:33

I can't answer your Turbomail questions other than to say that I've heard it works fine with Pyramid.

Regarding pyramid_mailer, it's entirely possible to render your emails using the same subsystem that lets pyramid render all of your templates.

from pyramid.renderers import render

opts = {} # a dictionary of globals to send to your template
body = render('email.mako', opts, request)

Also, the pyramid_mailer Message object is based on the lamson MailResponse object, which is stable and well-tested.

You can create a mail that consists of both a plain text body as well as html, by specifying either the body or html constructor parameters to the Message class.

plain_body = render('plain_email.mako', opts, request)
html_body = render('html_email.mako', opts, request)
msg = Message(body=plain_body, html=html_body)

you install turbomail

easy_install turbomail

create a file in your pyramid project (i put my in lib) with something like this:

import turbomail

    def send_mail(body, author,subject, to):
    """
    parameters:
    - body content 'body'
    - author's email 'author' 
    - subject 'subject'
    - recv email 'to'

    """
    conf = {
            'mail.on': True,
            'mail.transport': 'smtp',
            'mail.smtp.server': 'MAIL-SERVER:25',
        }

    turbomail.interface.start(conf)
    message = turbomail.Message(
            author = author,
            to = to,
            subject = subject,
            plain = 'This is HTML email',
            rich = body,
            encoding = "utf-8"
        )

    message.send()
    turbomail.interface.stop()

and then in your controller you just call this function like this:

#first import this function
from myproject.lib.mymail import send_mail

#some code...

    body = "<html><head></head><body>Hello World</body></html>"
    author = "[email protected]"
    subject = "testing turbomail"
    to = "[email protected]"
    send_mail(body, author, subject, to)
