No attribute 'SMTP', error when trying to send email in Python

Question

I am trying to send an email in Python:

import smtplib


fromaddr = \'......................\'  
toaddrs  = \'......................\'  
msg = \'Spam email T         


        

Answer 1

Python already has an email module. Your script's name is email.py, which is preventing smtplib from importing the built-in email module.

Rename your script to something other than email.py and the problem will go away.

Answer 2

import smtplib
conn = smtplib.SMTP('imap.gmail.com',587)
conn.ehlo()
conn.starttls()
conn.login('youremail@gmail.com', 'your_password')

conn.sendmail('from@gmail.com','to@gmail.com','Subject: What you like? \n\n Reply Reply Reply')
conn.quit()
