Jeremy Stanley 182ef2d2e0 Eat the extra leading newline in invites
In the sample settings file, backslash-continue the string literal
opening to avoid introducing an extra leading newline in the
resulting message body.

Summit Invite Script

It sends codes from codes.csv to ATCs in atc.csv and outputs a csv file with which name corresponds to which code.

You use it like this:

  • Copy settings.py.sample to settings.py
  • Update values in settings.py, especially EMAIL_USER, EMAIL_FROM, EMAIL_SIGNATURE and EMAIL_PASSWORD
  • Note that literal $ characters in the template which are not part of a substitution variable (such as dollar amounts) should be doubled to escape them like ... a $$600-off discount code ... so as to avoid raising ValueError: Invalid placeholder in string: line <X>, col <Y>
  • Run a test with PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python send.py atc_sample.csv codes_sample.csv > sent_sample.csv

Should work on stock Ubuntu.

When ready, run the real thing with:

$ PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python send.py atc.csv codes.csv > sent.csv
