How to Send Email from Django

Question

I am taking a tutorial for Django, but stuck at sending email from Django. I am working on Django's built in django.contrib.auth password reset views, it works fine, but doesn;t actually sends any email. For Testing purpose, I am using below code example to send email, but it gives error which I don't know where to resolve.

(env1) C:\Users\crm>python manage.py shell
Python 3.8.0 (tags/v3.8.0:fa919fd, Oct 14 2019, 19:21:23) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)
>>> from django.core.mail import send_mail
>>> send_mail(
...     'Subject here',
...     'Here is the message.',
...     '[email protected]',
...     ['[email protected]'],
...     fail_silently=False,
... )

My Settings.py configuration

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'djago.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USER_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '******'

I think you have a typo in your email configuration.

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
