I finally came around to test the script on window. Although the Python script is a bit ugly, it works. Just some Python-2.4 compatibility was needed. In the future, we can assume to read the Template string directory out of the file, i.e. w/o creating $member, etc. Also, check whether a "$" in the token confuses the Template parser.

# Script to send instructions to all voters.
|
|
#
|
|
# How to use this script
|
|
# ======================
|
|
#
|
|
# You probably want to first update the subject of the e-mail that will be
|
|
# sent. The second line of the instructions.txt will be the subject.
|
|
#
|
|
# So let's suppose that the instructions are in instructions.txt and that you
|
|
# made a list of voters in maildata.txt (probably using create-tmp-tokens.pl).
|
|
# The format of this file should be:
|
|
# name;email;token
|
|
#
|
|
# You should use this script like this:
|
|
# $ ./mail-instructions.pl maildata.txt instructions.txt
|
|
#
|
|
# This script needs a MTA to send the e-mails. If you don't have one or if
|
|
# you're not sure that your ISP allows you to directly send mails, it's
|
|
# probably better and safer to run the script from a gnome.org server.
|
|
# Please test this script with your own email address by creating a
|
|
# maildata.txt with a single entry like
|
|
# foo;your@address;bar
|
|
#
|
|
# You may want to look at your mail server logs (and maybe keep them) to
|
|
# know if the mail was delivered. There are usually 10-15 errors. In case of
|
|
# such errors, you can try to look for the new e-mail addresses of the voters
|
|
# to ask them if they want to update their registered e-mail address and
|
|
# receive the instructions.
