(video game noises) - As an engineer, I've written analysis programs that can take hours or even days to finish running. Rather than sitting around waiting for it to finish, I have the program send an email to let me know when it's done or if it runs into problems that need my attention. Your goal for this challenge is to write a Python function to send a basic email notification. At a minimum, the function should have input parameters for the receiving email address, a subject line, and the message body. Don't worry about including attachments or fancy formatting for this challenge, and feel free to use any email service you want. Keep in mind though that some services may require you to configure your account's security settings to send an email from Python. Figuring that out is part of the fun. Pause the video now to create your own solution, then I'll show you how I solve this challenge. (video game noises)…
