The Python standard library includes a basic |SMTP| server in the |smtpd| module,
based on the old asynchronous libraries |asyncore| and |asynchat|.
These modules are quite old and are definitely showing their age;
asyncore and asynchat are difficult APIs to work with, understand, extend, and fix.
(And have been deprecated since Python 3.6, and will be removed in Python 3.12.)
With the introduction of the |asyncio|_ module in Python 3.4, a much better way of doing asynchronous I/O is now available. It seems obvious that an asyncio-based version of the SMTP and related protocols are needed for Python 3. This project brings together several highly experienced Python developers collaborating on this reimplementation.
This package provides such an implementation of both the SMTP and LMTP protocols.
Full documentation is available on |aiosmtpd rtd|_
aiosmtpd has been tested on CPython>=3.8 and |PyPy|_>=3.8
for the following platforms (in alphabetical order):
aiosmtpd probably can run on platforms not listed above,
but we cannot provide support for unlisted platforms.
.. |PyPy| replace:: PyPy
.. _PyPy: https://www.pypy.org/
Install as usual with pip::
pip install aiosmtpdIf you receive an error message ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'public',
it likely means your setuptools is too old;
try to upgrade setuptools to at least version 46.4.0
which had implemented a fix for this issue_.
.. _implemented a fix for this issue: https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/history.html#v46-4-0
As of 2016-07-14, aiosmtpd has been put under the |aiolibs|_ umbrella project and moved to GitHub.
The best way to contact the developers is through the GitHub links above. You can also request help by submitting a question on StackOverflow.
You can install this package in a virtual environment like so::
$ python3 -m venv /path/to/venv
$ source /path/to/venv/bin/activate
$ python setup.py installThis will give you a command line script called aiosmtpd which implements the
SMTP server. Use aiosmtpd --help for a quick reference.
You will also have access to the aiosmtpd library, which you can use as a
testing environment for your SMTP clients. See the documentation links above
for details.
You'll need the tox <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tox>__ tool to run the
test suite for Python 3. Once you've got that, run::
$ toxIndividual tests can be run like this::
$ tox -- <testname>where <testname> is the "node id" of the test case to run, as explained
in the pytest documentation_. The command above will run that one test case
against all testenvs defined in tox.ini (see below).
If you want test to stop as soon as it hit a failure, use the -x/--exitfirst
option::
$ tox -- -xYou can also add the -s/--capture=no option to show output, e.g.::
$ tox -e py311-nocov -- -sand these options can be combined::
$ tox -e py311-nocov -- -x -s <testname>(The -e parameter is explained in the next section about 'testenvs'.
In general, you'll want to choose the nocov testenvs if you want to show output,
so you can see which test is generating which output.)
In general, the -e parameter to tox specifies one (or more) testenv
to run (separate using comma if more than one testenv). The following testenvs
have been configured and tested:
{py38,py39,py310,py311,py312,pypy3,pypy37,pypy38,pypy39}-{nocov,cov,diffcov,profile}
Specifies the interpreter to run and the kind of testing to perform.
nocov = no coverage testing. Tests will run verbosely.cov = with coverage testing. Tests will run in brief mode
(showing a single character per test run)diffcov = with diff-coverage report (showing difference in
coverage compared to previous commit). Tests will run in brief modeprofile = no coverage testing, but code profiling instead.
This must be invoked manually using the -e parameterNote 1: As of 2021-02-23,
only the {py38,py39}-{nocov,cov} combinations work on Cygwin.
Note 2: It is also possible to use whatever Python version is used when
invoking tox by using the py target, but you must explicitly include
the type of testing you want. For example::
$ tox -e "py-{nocov,cov,diffcov}"
(Don't forget the quotes if you want to use braces!)
You might want to do this for CI platforms where the exact Python version is pre-prepared, such as Travis CI or |GitHub Actions|_; this will definitely save some time during tox's testenv prepping.
For all testenv combinations except diffcov, |bandit|_ security check will also be run prior to running pytest.

qa
Performs |flake8| code style checking, and |flake8-bugbear| design checking.
In addition, some tests to help ensure that aiosmtpd is releasable to PyPI are also run.

docs
Builds HTML documentation and manpage using Sphinx.
A pytest doctest_ will run prior to actual building of the documentation.
static
Performs a static type checking using pytype.
Note 1: Please ensure that all pytype dependencies_ have been installed before
executing this testenv.
Note 2: This testenv will be SKIPPED on Windows,
because pytype currently cannot run on Windows.
Note 3: This testenv does NOT work on Cygwin.

ASYNCIO_CATCHUP_DELAY
Due to how asyncio event loop works, some actions do not instantly get
responded to. This is especially so on slower / overworked systems.
In consideration of such situations, some test cases invoke a slight
delay to let the event loop catch up.
Defaults to `0.1` and can be set to any float value you want.
Different Python Versions
-----------------------------
The tox configuration files have been created to cater for more than one
Python versions `safely`: If an interpreter is not found for a certain
Python version, tox will skip that whole testenv.
However, with a little bit of effort, you can have multiple Python interpreter
versions on your system by using ``pyenv``. General steps:
1. Install ``pyenv`` from https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#installation
2. Install ``tox-pyenv`` from https://pypi.org/project/tox-pyenv/
3. Using ``pyenv``, install the Python versions you want to test on
4. Create a ``.python-version`` file in the root of the repo, listing the
Python interpreter versions you want to make available to tox (see pyenv's
documentation about this file)
**Tip:** The 1st line of ``.python-version`` indicates your *preferred* Python version
which will be used to run tox.
5. Invoke tox with the option ``--tox-pyenv-no-fallback`` (see tox-pyenv's
documentation about this option)
``housekeep.py``
----------------
If you ever need to 'reset' your repo, you can use the ``housekeep.py`` utility
like so::
$ python housekeep.py superclean
It is *strongly* recommended to NOT do superclean too often, though.
Every time you invoke ``superclean``,
tox will have to recreate all its testenvs,
and this will make testing *much* longer to finish.
``superclean`` is typically only needed when you switch branches,
or if you want to really ensure that artifacts from previous testing sessions
won't interfere with your next testing sessions.
For example, you want to force Sphinx to rebuild all documentation.
Or, you're sharing a repo between environments (say, PSCore and Cygwin)
and the cached Python bytecode messes up execution
(e.g., sharing the exact same directory between Windows PowerShell and Cygwin
will cause problems as Python becomes confused about the locations of the source code).
