Python Fax - Send Multiple Files to Multiple Recipients

Download the Python fax code samples and library.

This Python fax sample uses the SendfaxEx_2 method to send a fax from Python to one or more recipients with one or more attached files. SendfaxEx_2 has more flexible sending capabilities than SendFax (for more details, see Side-by-side Comparison of Web Service Methods).

In the Python fax snippet below, a few files are read and submitted to the fax Web service, and the return value indicates whether the submission succeeded.

The return value of a successful submission is the transaction ID (positive number) of the fax in the system. Other return values indicate a failure (for more details, see Web Service Return Codes).

In case of successful submission, result will contain a positive 
Transaction ID.
