SOLVED: Install mailer module in Python 3.11.2?

[Calab]

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 × Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> [1 lines of output] 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. error: subprocess-exited-with-error × Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> See above for output. note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

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:
Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip-install-cgvj7eu9/mailer_190680dc590747a78241f63c88fe0d35/setup.py) egg_info for package mailer Created temporary directory: /tmp/pip-pip-egg-info-irk5h71p Running command python setup.py egg_info error in mailer setup command: use_2to3 is invalid. error: subprocess-exited-with-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]

We only had one obtuse piece of code that was generating email. The email it was sending was not very useful. Our solution was to simply remove the email requirement in our code. Now we don't need a mailer module any longer for this code.

Should we need a mailer in the future, we will investigate which module to use at that point.

Thanks folks!
