Question

i’m new to python , and trying to write a script in order to send SMS’s ,
after quick googling i found this lib: libgmail, and successfully installed it ,

this is the code i use to send SMS:

!/usr/bin/env python

import libgmail

ga = libgmail.GmailAccount(“[e-mail]”, “password”)
myCellEmail = “[e-mail]”

ga.login()
msg=libgmail.GmailComposedMessage(myCellEmail, “”, “Hello World! From python-libgmail!”)
ga.sendMessage(msg)

i get the following error when trying to run it:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\Users\Amit\Desktop\SMS\sms.py”, line 14, in
ga.login()
File “C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\libgmail.py”, line 305, in login

As far as I know libgmail is not compatible with the current Gmail interface. If I am not mistaken libgmail is not actively maintained either. You might want to look at alternative options.
