Google is your friend.

Which sais:
[ EDIT: Gmail made some security change change recently. You now have to allow “less secure apps” on your account. Otherwise, you won’t be able to connect to it with your python script. ]

Check your WIFI connection first.If still doesn't work then you can use my code.There are tutorials on the web for 2.7 only which is a bit annoying, but here is the code I used for 3.3.4

import getpass
import smtplib
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
fromaddr = raw_input("From : ")
toaddr = raw_input("TO :")
p_w_d = getpass.getpass("PASSWORD :")
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = fromaddr
msg['To'] = toaddr
msg['Subject'] = raw_input("SUBJECT OF THE MAIL :")
body = raw_input("YOUR MESSAGE HERE :")
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
print "[+] Connecting To Mail Server.\n"
server.starttls()
print "[+] Logging Into Mail Server.\n"
server.login(fromaddr, p_w_d)
text = msg.as_string()
print "[+] Sending Mail"
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, text)
print "[+] Mail Sent Successfully.\n"
server.quit()

It might not work though.
