from email.header    import Header

####smtp_host = 'smtp.live.com'        # microsoft
####smtp_host = 'smtp.gmail.com'       # google
smtp_host = 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com'  # yahoo
login, password = ...
recipients_emails = [login]

msg = MIMEText('body…', 'plain', 'utf-8')
msg['Subject'] = Header('subject…', 'utf-8')
msg['From'] = login
msg['To'] = ", ".join(recipients_emails)

s = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_host, 587, timeout=10)
s.set_debuglevel(1)
try:
    s.starttls()
    s.login(login, password)
    s.sendmail(msg['From'], recipients_emails, msg.as_string())
finally:
    s.quit()
