The function below will send an email directly from a Python script. This can be useful to automatically email yourself output upon completion of the script.
I've used this both in Linux and Windows. In both this can be used as-is, but in Windows the header for the location of Python ("#!/usr/bin/Python") is not necessary. It still worked with it for me, but that is a header specifically for Linux.
