SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol ) protocol with attachment using Python


"""
Important Points:
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is an Internet standard for electronic mail (email) transmission.
You can use loops to send mails to a number of people.
This code is simple to implement. But it will not work if you have enabled 2-step verification on your gmail account. It is required to switch off the 2-step verification first.
Using this method, Gmail will always put your mail in the primary section and the mails sent will not be Spam.

# creates SMTP session

# Authentication
