My suggestion, if you can use a Windows machine, just use the Lotus Notes COM Objects via the Python Win32 bindings, as mentioned above. If you really need to do it from Linux and are lucky enough to be running the IIOP task on your Domino server, then you could possibly use CORBA. You could always enable the IMAP interface on the Domino machine and use imaplib to retrieve the mail via IMAP. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: How to best send email to a low volume list?

I anticipate low numbers--tens to maybe one hundred subscribers at the most. Just curious what the best way to code this is. Should I just loop through the addresses and send one-off emails to each, or is it better to somehow send to every recipient in one shot? One thing I would like to avoid in the latter scenario is each recipient being able to see the entire list of recipients. Also don't want to trigger any kind of spam thing on my web host by sending out too many emails. Anyway, any tips appreciated. Thanks, Chris Before you reinvent the wheel, you should look into using a mailing list manager, Mailman for example: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html Regardless, confirmed double-opt-in should be a requirement as should a mechanism for subscribers to unsubscribe themselves. Using a 'list address' as the from address and using bcc addressing will prevent your recipients from being able to see all the other recipient addresses. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Class design question
Relatively new to python development and I have a general question regarding good class design. Say I have a couple of classes: Class Foo: params = [ ] __init__( self, param ): ... Class Bar: data = None __init__( self, data ): ... The class is going to be a wrapper around a list of Bars() (among other things). I want the ability to pass to the constructor of Foo either: a string'baz' a Bar objectBar( 'baz' ) a list of strings and/or bars ( 'baz', Bar( 'something else' )) Am I going to have to use isinstance() to test the parameter to __init__ to see what type of data I'm passing in, i.e., Class Foo: params = [ ] __init__( self, param ): if isinstance( param, list ): for p in param: addParam( p ) elif isinstance( param, str): addParam( param ) addParam( self, param ): if isinstance( param, Bar ): self.params.add( param ) elif isinstance( param, str ): self.params.add( Bar( param )) else: raise TypeError( wrong type of input ) Am I missing something here or is there a more Pythonic way to accomplish this? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I guess good OOP practice would be to push it down the call stack. arg = Bar(arg) self.params.add(arg) Or even better (Python 2.5): class Foo(object): def __init__(self, *args): self.params = [arg if isinstance(arg, Bar) else Bar(arg) for arg in args] Interesting, I'm not familiar with this idiom... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
