Here's what I get when I try that with my Gmail account (Ubuntu
13.10, Python 2.7.5+):<br>
<br>
psoper@len:~/p$ ./foo.py<br>

When I tried the original code off the 'Net Google sent me a msg as
if paratroopers in blue helmets were sliding down ropes onto the
roof of my house. <br>

up on last night's conversation I spent another couple hours
horsing around with getting a Python script to send email
and I got something to work with my personal domain server.
Implicit at the site below that the original code came from
this "used to work" with Gmail but Google tightened things
up a few years ago. I haven't found more recent SSL-based
incantations on the 'Net to try this with an account where
leakage/loss of the login details would only require
destroying the account. But maybe one of you know about such
things to demonstrate how to do this with Gmail?<br>
<br>
Anyway, here's a script that works for me so the next time
my water heater is failing I can hack a leak detector from
Lowes into a locked down single board system to tell me it
would be a good idea to come home and turn the well pump
off.<br>
