I am trying to add to it by emailing a specified user if it fails. I have read multiple samples, but have not gotten one to work. Anyone have something a novice python user could use?

Why don't you wrap the code in a try, except, finally...  and then use something like this to send an email.  This works with Outlook.

import smtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage

def sendEmail(fromWriter,toReader,msgSubject,body,priority= '0'):
    msg = EmailMessage()
    msg.set_content(body)
    msg['Subject'] = msgSubject
    msg['From'] = fromWriter
    msg['To'] = toReader
    msg['X-Priority'] = priority
    s  = smtplib.SMTP('your mail server url')
    s.send_message(msg)
    s.quit()
    return

if __name__ == '__main__':
    fromWriter = 'from@company.com'
    toReader = ['to@company.com']
    msgSubject = 'This is a test'
    body = """
    This is a test email.
    """
    sendEmail(fromWriter,toReader,msgSubject,body)
