A minor but crucial update to a system announced here a few days ago: the PyMailGUI POP/SMTP email client now supports SSL modes on servers. SSL is generally recommended by many servers, and required by some (e.g., Gmail).
Also in this update: a new config file for using the program with Gmail accounts; a new Linux screenshot; a minor patch to a patch for older 3.X libs; and additional book code imported only on rarely-used PyEdit actions. The update: http://learning-python.com/pymailgui/Readme-PyMailGUI.html#SSL The scene on Linux: http://learning-python.com/pymailgui/screenshots/linux-screenshot-pymailgui.png The original announcement: > There is a new standalone release of PyMailGUI - a POP/SMTP email client > which is a major example in a large Python book (shameless plug omitted). > This release's code is identical to that in the book, but has a different > launcher and a self-contained package structure for standalone use. > > PyMailGUI is a bit limited because it was written for use as a teaching > tool in a book. On the other hand, it does threading, MIME attachments, > Unicode, and more, and is useful enough to have served as its author's > primary email tool for over a decade. It may also reduce the probability > of your email being read by a giant evil company without your consent. > > Screenshot: > http://learning-python.com/pymailgui/screenshots/main-standalone.png > Docs: > http://learning-python.com/pymailgui/Readme-PyMailGUI.html > Code: > http://learning-python.com/pymailgui/ > Fetch: > http://learning-python.com/downloads/ Cheers again, --M.
