[FIXED] "No SSL support included in this python" Anaconda-python3-smtplib

Issue

I am using Anaconda environment with python 3.7 set up. I am trying to send a simple email via my gmail account using smtplib and I am getting "No SSL support included in this python" I do realize this question has been asked a number times but I can't find concrete suggestions on how to add ssl support in my anaconda/python environment. I installed openssl and pyopenssl, but no luck.

Here is my code:

import smtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage

msg = EmailMessage()
msg['Subject'] = 'test'
msg['From'] = '[email protected]'
msg['To'] = '[email protected]'

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.login('[email protected]','xxxxx')
server.send_message(msg)
server.quit()

Again my environment is:

Anaconda python 3.7 running on Windows 10 pycharm is the IDE

Solution

Please provide the output from conda list and conda info. We have a thread going on GitHub.

In the meantime, you can try downgrading to the previous build with conda install python=3.7.1=h33f27b4_4.
