`import smtplib
li = ["xxxxx@gmail.com", "yyyyy@gmail.com"] #list of email_id to send the mail

for i in range(len(li)):
s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
s.starttls()
s.login("sender_email_id", "sender_email_id_password")
message = "Message_you_need_to_send"
s.sendmail("sender_email_id", li[i], message)
s.quit() `

This is regarding multiple emails at once:
---- List of emials:
TO = "email1@gmail.com,email2@hotmail.com,email3@gmail.com"

---- change this line :
"s.sendmail("sender_email_id", li[i], message)"

---- For this line:
s.sendmail(sender_email_id, TO.split(","), message)
