Here's a simple example of an email thread (not tested, hacked out of some code I
have):
#
# email sender
#
from MimeMail import faktMimeMail
import threading
class emailsender(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self,to_addr,cc,from,subject,body,server):
self.to_addr = to_addr
self.cc = cc
self.from = from
self.subject = subject
self.body = body
self.server = server
def run(self):
mail = faktMimeMail()
mail.To(self.to_addr)
mail.CC(self.cc)
mail.From(self.from)
mail.Subject(self.subject)
mail.Body(self.body)
mail.BodyHTML(self.body)
mail.Send(self.server)
then in my servlet here's some of the code :
def myservlet(Page):
def submit(self):
'''Standard WebKit "action" method; to be run if button "submit" is clicked'''
if self.form.isSuccessful(): #using FormKit here
emailAddr = self.request().field('email', '')
body = "here's the body"
...
from myutils.emailsender import emailsender
emailthread = emailsender(emailAddr,None,'[EMAIL PROTECTED]','Here's your
email',body,'<mail server name>')
emailthread.start()
The emailthread starts when you call start() and finishes when done but in the
meantime your servlet doesn't wait - it just "fires and forgets" so you don't have to
wait for it to complete. When done the emailthread will die itself.
