pydispo is a pure-pythonic way of managing disposable mailbox that allows users to create several disposable email addresses and receive emails on those. It can be directly used from the command line or imported as a python module for advanced usage. pydispo is platform-independent and uses python standard libraries, so if you have python installed you don't need to satisfy any additional dependencies.
Optionally, pydispo can fetch attached files and there's also a provision to save emails as HTML. By default, the emails are shown as text, optionally any standard web browser can be used to view the emails. Currently, it uses 1secmail API to receive emails, and soon it would support additional APIs. If you want a bash-like implementation with some dependencies, please check the tmpmail script.
Download the pydispo standalone script and make it executable
$ curl -L "https://git.io/pydispo" > pydispo && chmod +x pydispopydispo is also available as a python package from https://pypi.org/project/pydispo/.
Download and install it as a system or environment package with pip. It can be then used in a CLI mode or as a python module
$ pip install pydispoAlternatively, the latest pydispo package source tarball can be downloaded from here (18.9 kB).
