This is not much more than what @Haxiel commented:

script.sh:

#!/bin/bash
file=abc.txt
echo "the following" ${file} "are missing"
pythonEmail.py $file

pythonEmail.py:

#!/usr/bin/python
import smtplib
import sys

sender = '[email protected]'
receivers = ['[email protected]']
message = """\
From: myself<[email protected]>
To: [email protected]
Subject: missing files

%s""" % (sys.argv[1])

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