FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about sending HIPAA compliant email with Python.

Does Paubox have a Python SDK?

Yes. The Paubox Python SDK is the official client library for the Paubox Email API. It sends HIPAA compliant transactional email and works in any Python application.

How do I install the Paubox Python SDK?

Run pip3 install paubox-python3, then set your Paubox API credentials as environment variables. See the Python quickstart for the full setup.

Which Python versions are supported?

Python 3.

How do I send HIPAA compliant email in Python?

Install the SDK, configure your Paubox API credentials, build a message with your recipients, subject, and content, then call the send method. Most teams send their first message in minutes. See the Python quickstart for a complete example.

Does it work with popular Python frameworks?

Yes. The SDK is a standard Python package, so it drops into Django, Flask, and FastAPI. You call it the same way from anywhere in your Python code.

Is the Paubox Python SDK HIPAA compliant?

Yes. Every plan includes a signed business associate agreement (BAA) and enforces transport layer security (TLS) 1.2 or higher by default, so messages are compliant out of the box.

Is a BAA included?

Yes. A business associate agreement (BAA) comes with every plan, including the free tier, so you can send protected health information (PHI) from your Python app without signing a separate agreement.

Can I send bulk and templated email from Python?

Yes. The SDK supports single sends, bulk sends, and reusable dynamic templates. Store a personalized template once and render it at send time with per-recipient values.

How is this different from sending with smtplib?

smtplib sends email but does not make you HIPAA compliant on its own. With Paubox you get a BAA and HIPAA compliant infrastructure, and you can either use the Python SDK or keep smtplib and point it at the Paubox SMTP relay.

What does it cost, and is there a free tier?

You can send 300 emails per month for free, BAA included. Paid plans scale from there to millions of messages. See the pricing page for current tiers.
