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
