Python comes with an smtplib module which works very well.  You say 
you want plain text, so just do this:

import smtplib

mail = smtplib.SMTP(mailhost_name)
mail.sendmail(from_addr, to_addr, msg)
mail.quit()

You can use MIME modules too if you want attachments and stuff, but
this is pretty simple for plain text.
