A Python library providing a Pythonic interface to Gmail via IMAP, supporting searching, reading, sending, labeling, archiving, and deleting emails. It requires Python 2.7 and has not been actively maintained for years.
Use cases
- read gmail messages from a python script
- search and filter emails by sender or date
- send multipart emails programmatically
- archive or mark gmail messages as read automatically
- manage gmail labels from code
When to choose
- you are stuck on Python 2 and need simple IMAP-based Gmail access
- you want a lightweight wrapper instead of the full Gmail REST API
When to avoid
- you use Python 3 - the library only supports Python 2.7
- you need a maintained library - use the official Gmail API client instead
- you need modern OAuth flows or pip installation
