Sending emails using Python smtplib and EmailMessage()

Question

I'm trying to send message on email using Python smtplib and EmailMessage().

import smtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage
def email_alert(subject, body, to):
    msg = EmailMessage()
    msg.set_content(body)
    msg['subject'] = subject
    msg['to'] = to  
    user = '[email protected]'
    msg['from'] = user
    password = 'app_password'
    server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
    server.starttls()
    server.login(user, password)
    server.send(msg)
    server.quit()

email_alert("hey", "Hello world","[email protected]")

But error occures "TypeError: memoryview: a bytes-like object is required, not 'EmailMessage'". What's the problem with the code? I saw video where this code worked.

Working code

import smtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage
def email_alert(subject, body, to):
    msg = EmailMessage()
    msg.set_content(body)
    msg['subject'] = subject
    msg['to'] = to  
    user = '[email protected]'
    msg['from'] = user
    password = 'app_password'
    server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
    server.starttls()
    server.login(user, password)
    server.send_message(msg) # <- UPDATED
    server.quit()

email_alert("hey", "Hello world","[email protected]")
