I want to send emails with my python script, but unfortunately it's not as straightforward and smooth as php, where I can just use mail() function.

I've used this example:

    import smtplib
    FROM = "sender@example.com"
    TO = ["me@gmail.com"]

    SUBJECT = "Hello!"

    TEXT = "This message was sent with Python's smtplib."
    server = smtplib.SMTP(SERVER)
    server.sendmail(FROM, TO, message)
    server.quit()

but it only returns a whole bunch of errors I don't even know the meaning of...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mylo.py", line 70, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "mylo.py", line 66, in main
    send_mail()
  File "mylo.py", line 37, in send_mail
    server = smtplib.SMTP(SERVER)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/smtplib.py", line 239, in __init__
    (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/smtplib.py", line 295, in connect
    self.sock = self._get_socket(host, port, self.timeout)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/smtplib.py", line 273, in _get_socket
    return socket.create_connection((port, host), timeout)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 512, in create_connection
    raise error, msg
socket.error: [Errno 61] Connection refused
