Is your goal simply to have a python program send (one or more) emails 
via your gmail account?
If so, I might be able to help you.
I've done it but was unhappy because if the recipient was also a gmail 
user the email contained an ominous warning about the email's 
authenticity.
For this reason I switched to easydns.com.  I was able to add a 
'Reply-To' header so replies would come to my gmail account and most 
users would think the email came from that same gmail account.

Let me know and if you want I'll 'dust off' the code that used gmail, 
see if it still works and, if so,  share it. (It's all on github[1] but 
mixed in with a lot of other stuff the sorting out of which would 
probably be daunting!)
