Leaving this here, as I stumbled upon this thread looking for the python solution.
python boto3 solution:
# imports# other logic# Set name of sender here.SENDER = "First Name <email@address.com>"RECIPIENT = "email@address.com"CHARSET = 'UTF-8'BODY_HTML = " <html><head></head><body>some content</body></html>"BODY_TEXT = " some content "AWS_REGION = "us-west-2"client = boto3.client('ses', region_name=AWS_REGION)response = client.send_email( # Set sender here Source=SENDER, Destination={'ToAddresses': [ RECIPIENT, ], }, Message={'Body': {'Html': {'Charset': CHARSET,'Data': BODY_HTML, },'Text': {'Charset': CHARSET,'Data': BODY_TEXT, }, },'Subject': {'Charset': CHARSET,'Data': SUBJECT, }, })# do something with response
