7.4 - Project - Iteration 3

Let's go through the spec
Sending Emails
This is one of the more challenging parts of Iteration 3. You can create a dummy gmail account and make sure it is a less secure app.
Â
Once that is done, you can usually search around the internet for python-based SMTP libraries that will allow you to send emails.
Â
Work collaboratively with your team to solve this problem.
Storing and serving images
Fetching image via URL
(imgDown.py)
Cropping image
(week8/crop.py)
Serving image
(week8/static.py)
Using threads & timers
Most of what we do in python is single-threaded, i.e. if an action takes a while to complete, the program stops and waits for that action to be complete.
Â
To do more interesting things like "set a timer to execute code later" we need to use the threading library so that multiple paths/streams of the program can be completed concurrently.
Â
Using threads & timers
import threading
import time
def hello():
print("hello, Timer")
if __name__ == '__main__':
t = threading.Timer(3.0, hello)
t.start()timer.py
