Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Method 1
Your code looks correct. Try logging in through your browser and if you are able to access your account come back and try your code again.
Just make sure that you have typed your username and password correct
EDIT:
Google blocks sign-in attempts from apps which do not use modern security standards (mentioned on their support page). You can however, turn on/off this safety feature by going to the link below:
Go to this link and select Turn On

Method 2
Your code looks correct but sometimes google blocks an IP when you try to send a email from an unusual location. You can try to unblock it by visiting https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha from the IP and following the prompts.

Method 3
I have just sent an email with gmail through Python.
Try to use smtplib.SMTP_SSL to make the connection. Also, you may try to change the gmail domain and port.
So, you may get a chance with:
server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.googlemail.com', 465)
server.login(gmail_user, password)
server.sendmail(gmail_user, TO, BODY)
As a plus, you could check the email builtin module. In this way, you can improve the readability of you your code and handle emails headers easily.
