PyExchange is a library for Microsoft Exchange.
It's incomplete at the moment - it only handles calendar events. We've open sourced it because we found it useful and hope others will, too.
If you're interested, please see the CONTRIBUTING notes in the repo for hints on where to get started.
Go to https://pyexchange.readthedocs.org for the most recent, up-to-date version of documentation.
PyExchange supports Python 2.6 and 2.7, and as of 0.6, is Python 3 compatible. Non CPython implementations may work but are not tested.
We support Exchange Server version 2010. Others will likely work but are not tested.
To install, use pip:
pip install pyexchange
Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess, who wanted to connect her web application to the royal Microsoft Exchange server.
The princess first tried all manner of SOAP libraries, but found them broken, or slow, or not unicode compliant, or plain just didn't work with Exchange.
"This totally bites," said the princess. "I need like four commands and I don't want to make my own SOAP library."
She then discovered Microsoft had excellent documentation on its Exchange services with full XML samples.
"Bitchin," said the princess, who had watched too many 80s movies recently. "I'll just write XML instead."
So she did, and it worked, and there was much feasting and celebration, followed by a royal battle with accounting over what constituted reasonable mead expenses.
And everybody lived happily ever after.
