Yes you dont need a password to receive email, but to access Gmail and send an email you do. Yes you do need the Gmail library to access Gmail because the script will run on a computer that doesnt have a smtp server. Is there other way's of notifying the user?

What Gabriel said was correct. You can use smtplib to connect to Gmail's SMTP server as the library supports SSL/TLS required by Gmail (see here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287&topic=1556) You do not need a local SMTP server to use smtplib, just use the values found in that provided URL. Hope this helps, Aidan Steele.
