PyMail 0.1.2

System requirements

• Python 2.7 or later

• C/C++ compiler (if eventlet package is not already integrated)

From pip

If you have pip installed, just type:

pip install PyMail

Similarly, if you have easy_install, it would be:

easy_install PyMail

Configuration

In the package directory there is a directoy etc containing a file pymail. You can take this as a starting point for your configuration. Copy this file to /etc and edit it to your needs. Putting it into /etc has the advantage of not having to specify the path on the command line when starting pymail. See the file doc/configuration.rst for a guide.

Finding the package directory

The pymail package is installed in directory site-packages of your Python environment. If you have difficulties finding the site-packages directory you can do as follows:

$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, May  5 2013, 17:16:24)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> print '\n'.join(sys.path)

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/beautifulsoup4-4.1.3-py2.7.egg
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/teleboy-0.2-py2.7.egg
/usr/lib64/python27.zip
/usr/lib64/python2.7
/usr/lib64/python2.7/plat-linux2
/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-tk
/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-old
/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode
/usr/lib64/portage/pym
>>>

The line ending in site-packages contains the path of the directory where pymail is installed.

Installing from source on bitbucket.org

Either clone the project with Mercurial:
