title: Sending email via Gmail & Python
body: <p>What is the recommended way of sending emails with Gmail and Python?</p>
  <p>There are a lot of SO threads, but most are old and also SMTP with username &amp; password is not working any more or the user has to downgrade the security of their Gmail (for example see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/29354018/3769451">here</a>).</p>
  <p>Is OAuth the recommended way?</p>
