Email through smtplib

I was trying to build a python script which could send emails via Gmail.

When I try to connect to the Gmail Server, I get an error Errno 10013.

This is what I'm trying to do:

gmail_message = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com')
gmail_message.starttls()
gmail_message.login('[email protected]','xyzpassword')
gmail_message.sendmail('[email protected]',['[email protected]'], msg.as_string())
gmail_message.quit()

Error:

error: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

What can I do to fix this?

This is code that worked for me on Win7. It's pretty much identical to yours.

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')  
server.starttls()  
server.login(username,password)  
for comp in comps:
    msg = "Subject:CommenceSweep:Comp%s-%s\n\n" % (comp,sweep)
    server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)  
server.quit()

Note: Did you correctly configure Gmail to allow SMTP?

You may need to specify the port by

gmail_message = smtplib.SMTP(host='smtp.gmail.com', port=587)
