secretSanta

Python based secret Santa generator which randomizes players and notifies via an email to remain anonymous.

Usage

The main sending email is specified in config.py.

• Requires the full email and password for a gmail account within the gmail_user and gmail_password fields
• Sending account must have 'less secure apps' enabled within gmail
• Other mail servers and username / passwords can be used here if you know what you're doing

Players are specified in the config.py

• Players should be added to the player_info array in the form of key value pairs player_name:player_email.
• The player_name is used to identify the recipient. So use last names if needed

Changes to the sent email can be done in main.py. Feel free to update the message body and subject fields to suit your needs.

On error, the email in question will be printed to the console.
NOTE: if it errors on all emails, you probably have not enabled 'less secure apps' for the sending gmail.

All connections are written to log.txt.
