Sending a FileField attachment by email

[Hugo Kitano]

I'm having problems sending a FileField attachment via email. This should send an email, but doesn't. Is there something I have to configure in my gmail account for this to work?

settings.py:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'em...@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = EMAIL_HOST_USER

views.py:

#i.output is the FieldFile
message = 'Thanks for using our website!'
email = EmailMessage('Analysis', message, settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER, [toEmail])
email.attach(filename, i.output.read())
email.send()

I've even received an email from Gmail telling me a sign-in attempt was prevented. Any help? Thanks!
