Please try to choose more descriptive subject lines (eg "problem with
sock.connect" or similar). That you want help is almost implicit, and
what the whole list is for.
Anyway, to your problem:

This usually means that either the host address is legal but incorrect
(there's no host/server listening with that address) or that the port is
incorrect and some firewall is _discarding_ your traffic because of the
wrong port instead of returning a nice "connection refused", which is
usually instant.
Fortunately you've listed your call:
File "C:\Users\i9shu\Downloads\python email bot\email bot.py",
line 25,
in <module>
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com',2525)
So, I'll try that by hand here:
% telnet smtp.gmail.com 2525
Trying 142.250.4.108...
telnet: connect to address 142.250.4.108: Operation timed out
Trying 2404:6800:4003:c0f::6d...
telnet: connect to address 2404:6800:4003:c0f::6d: No route to host
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
%
I'd say GMail are rudely dropping traffic to port 2525. Maybe try just
25, the normal SMTP port?
