So I can login to and send mail through gmail using smtplib (using the script below), but I was just wondering if using oauth2 was an option like with imaplib? I didn't see anything on the smtplib documentation page about oauth and I haven't found anything googling. Thanks.
#! /usr/bin/python
import smtplib
to = 'myemailaddress'
gmail_user = 'myemailaddress'
gmail_pwd = 'passwd'
smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com",587)
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.starttls()
smtpserver.ehlo
smtpserver.login(gmail_user, gmail_pwd)
header = 'To:' + to + '\n' + 'From: ' + gmail_user + '\n' + 'Subject:testing \n'
print header
msg = header + '\n this is test msg from me \n\n'
smtpserver.sendmail(gmail_user, to, msg)
print 'done!'
smtpserver.close();
Edit:
Thanks to samy.vilar for the very detailed explaination provided in his answer. However, I'm having a little trouble. Here is my script:
#! /usr/bin/python
import oauth2 as oauth
import oauth2.clients.smtp as smtplib
consumer = oauth.Consumer('anonymous', 'anonymous')
token = oauth.Token('1/MI6B2DqJP4FEkDRLUKrD5l46sQ0758-2ucEKBY-DeB0', 'NysqNqVTulFsdHpSRrPP56sF')
url = "https://mail.google.com/mail/b/testing.oauth.1@gmail.com/smtp/"
conn = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.googlemail.com', 587)
conn.set_debuglevel(True)
conn.ehlo('test')
conn.starttls()
conn.authenticate(url, consumer, token)
header = 'To:testing.oauth.1@gmail.com\n' + 'From: testing.oauth.1@gmail.com\n' + 'Subject:testing \n'
msg = header + '\n this is test msg from me \n\n'
conn.sendmail('testing.oauth.1@gmail.com', 'testing.oauth.1@gmail.com', msg)
What is puzzling me, is that it appears to authenticate ok:
