Where can I find a complete tutorial or guide explaining how I can
create and send e-mail in Python?  In particular, I would like to have
a tutorial that has examples and shows someone how to connect to write
the necessary code using the Python GUI so that they may send e-mail.

Request for Question Clarification by maniac-ga on 21 Feb 2006 18:58 PST

Hello Fresh02,

There are several good tutorials / examples available for implementing
an SMTP client in Python (or more specifically using a module such as
smtplib or socket). Some of these use a GUI, some do not. For example,
  http://twistedmatrix.com/users/warner/doc-latest/mail/tutorial/smtpclient/smtpclient.html
which shows a step by step build up of an SMTP client using "Twisted"
(a framework implemented in Python) but does not have a GUI.

Do you have a specific GUI you need to support? See
  http://metaslash.com/brochure/tutorial/
for a list of several popular GUI bindings in Python. If you don't
have a specific GUI you need to implement, please clarify that as well
- I should be able to look up a few examples for you to choose from.

I hadn't had one in mind.  The basic idea was to get a tutorial that
would explain how to send e-mail directly from python.  That would be
step one.  Then the next step (and tell me if I'm wrong) but would be
to implement an SMTP client using a GUI...to that end would Tkinter
work?
