OT-2 email updates: smtp doesn't connect | gaierror: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution

[camos95]

I would like to receive email updates from my OT-2 when it is done with a run in Jupyter Notebook mode.

To do so I created a gmail account for my OT-2, not used for anything else. Using Python's standard library smtplib this is no problem on my local machine when using opentrons simulate mode. However, when I try the same when connected to the OT-2 I keep receiving a gaierror: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution error. The problem appears to be with smtp not even being able to connect to the gmail server.

This is the code to connect to the email server where the problem occurs:

Code

from opentrons import protocol_api, execute
import smtplib

protocol = execute.get_protocol_api('2.10')

# enter your email
rec_emails = you
# login to OT-2's gmail account
sender_email = me
password = input(str("Please enter your password :"))

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login(sender_email, password)
print("Login success")

Does this problem occur on more than one Wi-Fi network?

Yes, we just changed the Wi-Fi network and the error message remains the same.
