Using pure python scripts with django is not all that difficult, as django
itself is a python package. So , you can simply have a custom script
"mailserver.py" (or whatever name) and you import the script to your views
and simply call the functions from your custom script under the respective
user request. For Example:
Custom Script = mailserver.py
def sendWelcomeEmail(to, from):
""" Function to send a
Welcome email to First Time Subscribers.
"""
Django App's Views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse
import mailserver
def firstTimers(request):
usermail = request.POST['email']
mailserver.sendWelcome(useremail, '[email protected]')
success = '<html><body><h1>Mail Sent.</h1></body></html>'
return HttpResponse(success)
