Hi All, 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("[email protected]", "password") myCellEmail = "[email protected]"

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

i get the following error when trying to run it:

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.
