Pysces (Python Scheduled-Custom-Email-Sender)

Pysces (read: Pisces) is a program to help you send emails with an user-customizable time-based email sending schedule. Pysces is written in pure python. Pysces comes in both command-line interface and graphical interface (GUI to be implemented soon).

Features

• Time-based email sending schedule.
• Email attachment support.
• Written in pure Python.
• User-customizable.
• No external dependencies.
• Gmail support out-of-the-box (Other email provider support will be added soon).

Security

Please be advised that there are ABSOLUTELY no data that is being transferred nor being sent to anyone, including myself. All data such as email address and password is stored in a local config file named "config.ini".

This config file will be generated the first time you run the program and will be used as a way to store your email and password being used to send the emails.

Instalation

In order to use this program, if you're using Gmail as your email service provider, please turn off "Less secure app access" on your Gmail account setting. This is done to prevent Google from blocking and intervening with this program trying to login to your account.

If you're using other provider, please turn off the "Less secure app access" as well. (It might or might not exist for your email provider and it may or may not have different name, depending on your email provider).
