hey there how's it going everybody in this video we're going to be learning how to send emails with Python so we've sent emails and previous videos but in this video we're gonna look at this more in depth and see how to use best practices and we're also gonna look at how to do more advanced emails such as adding attachments or sending HTML messages so let's go ahead and get started so first of all you're going to want to have an email account to send emails in this video we're going to be using Gmail which most of you are likely familiar with but you can use any email service that you'd like but the setup might be slightly different from this video if you're using a different service now we're also going to see how we can use your localhost to send test emails if you don't have an actual email address setup yet but for now let's look at some stuff that we need to do to get an account ready so for example if you're using Gmail then there are a couple of settings that you need to change in order to send emails through python using this account so let me pull these up in my browser so one is this my account google.com ford slash less secure apps so first if you don't have two factor authentication setup then you're going to need to allow less secure applications like python to connect to your account and you can do that at this URL here and I'll have links to these pages in the description section below if you want to access these URLs now if you do have two-factor authentication which I would always recommend then instead you'll need to create an app password so that you can connect through Python and you will do that at this URL here my account google.com forge / app passwords so you can see that I have an app password here called Python test and this is what I use to connect to my account now I've placed that password into an environment variable so that I never need to add it directly into a Python script I think it's a good habit to never add your sensitive information directly to your script but instead you should use configuration files that don't get committed to source control or use environment variables so if you've never used environment variables to hide information like this then I do have a separate video that shows how to do that for Mac Linux and windows so I'll leave a link to those videos in the description section below if anyone would like to see how that's done ok so once you've got an email account and you have your security settings in order let's see how we can send some emails so I have an empty Python script pulled up here in sublime text and you can create an...
