Send emails based on a Django template

Send emails with Django templates

Usage:

Create a template

myemail.html

{% block subject %}Subject{% endblock %}

{% block text %}Hello from {{ name }}{% endblock %}

{% block recipients %}[e-mail], [e-mail]{% endblock %}

Send the template:

from email_template.email import send

send("myemail.html", dict(name=name))

This will send a text/plain email message using django.core.mail.EmailMessage to the specified recipients.

You can optionally add an html block to send a multipart email, or specify the html block only, which sends a text/html email.

Providing a request context

You can provide the request argument to have your email rendered using RequestContext instead.

def myview(request):
    send("myemail.html", dict(name=name), request=request)
    return HttpResponse("ok")
