Install mailer module in Python 3.11.2? - Calab - Jun-11-2024

Is it possible to install the mailer module in Python 3.11.2?

We have a script currently running in Python 3.7 that we want to move to 3.11. One of the requirements is the mailer module.

When I try to install mailer with pi I get the following error:

Error:
pip3.11 install mailer
Collecting mailer
  Using cached mailer-0.8.1.zip (6.5 kB)
  Installing build dependencies ... done
  Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

      error in mailer setup command: use_2to3 is invalid.
      [end of output]
  
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

× Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.

I have tried downgrading setuptools to v57, but that did not help. I currently have setuptools v70 installed.

This is a more detailed error that I get when using the -vvv flag for pip:

Error:

Look at date mailer 0.8.1 2015.
There is no update,and link to source code don't work.
This is a clear sign that you should not use it.

Try switch to yagmail it's been one the best mail client for Python for many years now.
pip install yagmail[all]
