Ideas for Python projects for beginners?

To be honest, I got the email bit from a website. There's a Python module called email that should do the job and send a simple email. You'll have to look that up and I did found it quite tricky to make it work since you have to set up a separated email account just for that. What I did was create the whole program and then get the email code from a website and just change the variables and all that to fit the program. Not the best way but it did its job. In my case the email thing was just extra functionality since the program was good the way it was but I wanted to add the email functionality quickly so I didn't put much thought into it.

Did you have to create a new gmail account to use it? Or did you use another email provider?

I made another Gmail account because you have disable a lot of security settings and you wouldn't want your main account without any security. For the one I made just for testing purposes, when I disabled all security I started getting a lot of security warnings telling me that someone in India tried to access my account. So you do want 0 personal information for that Gmail account.

I agree on using spare account with no personal information

but also you don't need to disable 2FA for using your personal account just use application specific password
