python-mailcow

PyPI version PyPI downloads pylint

python-mailcow allows you to interact with the MailCow API. It comes with a cli mailcow. All arguments for the cli are generated by parsing your MailCow instance's OpenApi schema.

See demo.mailcow.email as OpenAPI scheme example.

This means that you can add, get, edit and delete everything that the MailCow API allows and changes to the API should be usable immediately.

...Famous last words... I know...

BTW: The look and feel of the cli and configuration is inspired by the python-gitlab project.

Installation

  • from pypi: pip install python-mailcow
  • from github: pip install git+https://github.com./derJD/python-mailcow.git

Local Build
