How to send an email to Gmail?

Question

Python

I'm trying to send an email to my own gmail account, it gives me this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Code\Python\Basic\SendTheEmail.py", line 18, in
mail.login('login', 'password')
File "C:\Python33\lib\smtplib .py", line 638, in login
raise SMTPAuthenticationError(code, resp)

My code:

import smtplib
content = "Hello from Python"
mail = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
mail.ehlo()
mail.starttls()
mail.login('[email protected]', 'password')
mail.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]' , 'Hello there')
mail.close()
