How To Install python-django-anymail on Ubuntu 18.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python-django-anymail on Ubuntu 18.04.
What is python-django-anymail
python-django-anymail is:
Anymail integrates several transactional email service providers (ESPs) into Django, with a consistent API that lets you use ESP-added features without locking your code to a particular ESP.
It currently fully supports Mailgun, Mailjet, Postmark, SendGrid, and SparkPost, and has limited support for Mandrill.
Anymail normalizes ESP functionality so it “just works” with Django’s
built-in django.core.mail package. It includes:
- Support for HTML, attachments, extra headers, and other features of Django’s built-in email
- Extensions that make it easy to use extra ESP functionality, like tags, metadata, and tracking, with code that’s portable between ESPs
- Simplified inline images for HTML email
- Normalized sent-message status and tracking notification, by connecting your ESP’s webhooks to Django signals
- “Batch transactional” sends using your ESP’s merge and template features
This is the Python 2 version of the package.
