ANN: Flask-Mail 0.5

ANN: Flask-Mail 0.5

From:

I have just released Flask-Mail 0.5. This is basically a refactoring
release, with a couple of small external changes:

1. The setting MAIL_FAIL_SILENTLY. If False then an error will be
raised if attempting to connect to an unavailable mail server. This is
True by default.

2. The ability to limit the number of emails sent in a single
connection through the max_emails argument/DEFAULT_MAX_EMAILS setting.

Details can be found here :http://packages.python.org/Flask-Mail/.

I have decided to keep Lamson for the forseeable future, as it handles
most of the low-level encoding and other functionality and it would
not make sense to rewrite this functionality. The documentation has
been updated with workarounds for Windows users. I would be grateful
for Windows users to provide more detailed instructions or
corrections.

Hi Dan,

I tried using Flask-Mail in a flask module and recieved an error message.
---
from flask import Module
from flaskext.mail import Mail

admin = Module(__name__)
mail = Mail(admin)
---
is there anyway to setup a Mail instance in flask.Module?

Thanks
EJ Lee

No,  it's enabled through an app, not a module. Why would you need to
initialize it that way ?

pardon me, I'm a novice in python and programming also English,

my app structure is like below. it's based on the 'Patterns for Flask
- Larger Applications'
--
/yourapplication
    __init__.py
    /apps
        /frontend
            __init__.py

            /static
                style.css
            /templates
                index.html
                about.html

                show_item.html

when Mail instance is created in /youapplication/__init__.py,

 how I use it in /youraplication/apps/admin/views.py?

Don't create the instance in __init__.py.

Have a separate module (e.g. extensions.py) and initialise it there:

mail = Mail()

You can then initialise it in __init__.py:

from myapp.extensions import mail

app = Flask(__name__)

mail.init_app(app)

and you can also use it in your views:

from myapp.extensions import mail

@mymodule.route("/")
def myview():
     mail.send_message(...)

I am confused about the multiple apps. Do each of them define their
own Flask() instance, or are they each modules that contain views
packages? This part of the doc needs lots of love.

That does not answer the question.

Examine the comments alongside the filetree.

Does all of this mean you end up with two Flask() instances, or one
instance that can pull the module depending on some sort of domain
argument?
