The following lines will send an e-mail:

import smtplib

from email.mime.text import MIMEText

sender = "your e-mail address here"

receiver = "your e-mail address here"

subject = "python e-mail"

body = """

your e-mail body goes here

"""

msg = MIMEText(body)

msg['Subject'] = subject

msg['From'] = sender

msg['To'] = receiver

try:

smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')

smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receiver, msg.as_string())

except SMTPException:

sys.exit("ERROR sending mail")

To get your code to beep, do:

print("\a")

We briefly discussed shallow copies in class:

>>> a = [1, 2, [3,4], 5]

>>> b = a[:]

>>> print id(a)

140022054383056

>>> print id(b)

140022054485312

>>>

>>> print a[2]

[3, 4]

>>> print id(a[2])

140022054381760

>>> print id(b[2])

140022054381760

>>>

>>>

>>> a[2][0] = "changed"

>>> print a

[1, 2, ['changed', 4], 5]

>>> print b

[1, 2, ['changed', 4], 5]

notice that the list in the list is not a copy, but they both point to

the same list, so this is shallow in that sense.
