I'm trying to send an email using web2py's auth mailer. I've set an application specific password and am using that and my gmail info in the code below:
mail = auth.settings.mailer
mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:587'
mail.settings.sender = 'em...@gmail.com'
mail.settings.login = 'em...@gmail.com:password'


I'm getting an error back when trying to send an email:
2016-02-29 09:33:42,082 - web2py - WARNING - Mail.send failure:No SSL support included in this Python

Anyone experienced this and know how to work around it?

Using port 465 instead results in this error:
2016-02-29 09:32:17,565 - web2py - WARNING - Mail.send failure:Connection unexpectedly closed: timed out

I can't recall at this point, but just ran:

>>> import socket
>>> hasattr(socket, "ssl")

which returned True

import ssl 

?

That works fine as well.

I'm on windows 10.

Have you allowed insecure apps on this gmail's google account?

uhm. this error 

:No SSL support included in this Python

is an early exit on smptlib . not at all web2py related: SO is riddled with same error, and all points to not having SSL available...

that problem could be simply related to python process not finding the openssl shared lib at runtime.  So the module can be imported, but the socket cannot work with ssl.
