yagmail is a Python library that makes sending emails via Gmail/SMTP as simple as a single client call, with 'magical' handling of text, HTML, images, and attachments. It supports OAuth2, DKIM signing, and an asyncio-based asynchronous client.

Use cases

• send email from python script
• send gmail with attachments in python
• send html email with images via smtp
• send emails asynchronously with asyncio
• send email notifications from a job
• attach files to email in python
• send email with dkim signature

When to choose

• you want the simplest possible API for sending email from Python
• you primarily use Gmail and want OAuth2 or app-password support
• you need easy inline images and attachment handling without MIME boilerplate

When to avoid

• you need to receive or parse emails rather than send them
• you need full control over complex MIME structures or bulk marketing email features
• you need a language other than Python
