When trying to send an e-mail using a tutorial like example, I get the 
following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 3, in <module>
    server.login("domena\someuser","somepassword")
  File "C:\Python\lib\smtplib.py", line 583, in login
    "%s %s" % (AUTH_LOGIN, encode_base64(user)))
  File "C:\Python\lib\email\base64mime.py", line 96, in body_encode
    enc = b2a_base64(s[i:i + max_unencoded]).decode("ascii")
TypeError: b2a_base64() argument 1 must be bytes or buffer, not str
