Or with Twisted:

  from twisted.internet.ssl import ClientContextFactory
  from twisted.internet.defer import Deferred
  from twisted.mail.smtp import ESMTPSenderFactory
  from twisted.internet import reactor

  contextFactory = ClientContextFactory()
  result = Deferred()
  factory = ESMTPSenderFactory('youraddress at gmail.com',
                               'your password',
                               'youraddress at gmail.com',
                               're at cipient.com',
                               messageText,
                               contextFactory=contextFactory)
  reactor.connectTCP('smtp.gmail.com', 25, factory)
  result.addCallback(lambda ign: reactor.stop())
  reactor.run()
