I have just sent an email with gmail through Python. Try to use smtplib.SMTP_SSL to make the connection. Also, you may try to change the gmail domain and port.

So, you may get a chance with:

server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.googlemail.com', 465)
server.login(gmail_user, password)
server.sendmail(gmail_user, TO, BODY)

As a plus, you could check the email builtin module. In this way, you can improve the readability of you your code and handle emails headers easily.

Your code looks correct  Try logging in through your browser and if you are able to access your account come back and try your code again  Just make sure that you have typed your username and password correct  EDIT  Google blocks sign-in attempts from apps which do not use modern security standards  mentioned on their support page   You can however  turn on off this safety feature by going to the link below   Go to this link and select Turn On https   www google com settings security lesssecureapps

Your code looks correct but sometimes google blocks an IP when you try to send a email from an unusual location  You can try to unblock it by visiting https   accounts google com DisplayUnlockCaptcha from the IP and following the prompts  Reference  https   support google com accounts answer 6009563
