While sending email using python, we should use two modules "smtplib" and "email". These two modules will help in creating the connection and building the html body of the email.
The below code will help in creating connection and sending email.
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
SENDER_EMAIL = 'SENDER_EMAIL'
SENDER_PASSWORD = 'SENDER_PASSWORD' #app password for gmail.
SERVER = 'smtp.gmail.com:587'
RECEIVER_EMAIL = 'SENDER_EMAIL'
SUBJECT = 'Test'
HTML = """
