OSError: [Errno 65] No route to host. Python 3.5.3

I'm trying to connect to gmail through SMTP, but python is not connecting to the server: smtp.gmail.com. I don't think there is something wrong with my code, but here it is:

import smtplib
smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)

smtpObj.ehlo()
smtpObj.starttls()

smtpObj.login('[email protected]', 'password')
smtpObj.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]')
smptObj.quit()

I think there is some settings I have to enable, but nothing is working. I am using a mac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. Thanks for your help in advance.

This is the error message I am getting.

Traceback (most recent call last):

If this is happening to you, try connecting to a different wifi network and attempt to run the code again. If I find a way to edit the setting on your computer needed to make the code work. I'll post it here
