import smtplib

sender = '[e-mail]'
receivers = ['[e-mail]']

message = """From: From Person <[e-mail]>
To: To Person <[e-mail]>
Subject: SMTP e-mail test

This is a test e-mail message.

try:
   smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com')
   smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receivers, message)
   print "Successfully sent email"
except smtplib.SMTPException:
   print "Error: unable to send email"

I get the following error when I try to run the script.
