I don't see any ability to create drafts in the simplegmail package. However, its Gmail class contains the service object for the Gmail API, and it looks like one should be able to do this as in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46170469/gmail-api-create-draft-reply:

msg = create_message('YOU@gmail.com','THEM@company.com','Re: Some Subject','This is a test')
create_draft(service,'me',  msg)

which makes use of the code at https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/guides/drafts#python.

I have not tried this myself yet but thought I'd share what I found.
