Sending Fax with python?

Question

Ok, we aren't in the mid-1980s any more, but anyway. Are there any fax libraries for python?

Answer 1

I have no experience with it, but I guess you're looking for something like hylafax, right? A post here purports to show how to use it from Python (haven't tried myself).

Answer 2

Country would be in Eurozone. No other constraints.

There are companies which offer email-to-fax and fax-to-email conversion (so you can send/receive faxes by sending and receiving emails).

Answer 3

Check out the link for a number of code samples demonstrating how to fax with Python using a commercial internet fax service.

As an example, the simplest one requires just this:

from interfax import client

print 'Testing SendCharFax...'
c = client.InterFaxClient('USERNAME','PASSWORD')
result = c.sendCharFax('+12125554874', 'This is a test')
print '   Char Fax was sent with result code: %d' % result
