Error 400 when sending a message using python

问题

I am trying to send an email using Gmail API. I have successfully authenticated and have a client_secret.json file on my machine. I have been able to get a list of labels using the quickstart example on the Gmail API website

I have reset my scope successfully to

SCOPES = 'https://mail.google.com'

allowing full access to my gmail account.

I have a python script, compiled from here and here. See below. When executing the script I get the following error message:

An error occurred: https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/messages/send?alt=json returned "'raw' RFC822 payload message string or uploading message via /upload/* URL required">

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong and how to fix it?

A message has to be created like it is outlined in the Sending Email guide:

def create_message(sender, to, subject, message_text):
  message = MIMEText(message_text)
  message['to'] = to
  message['from'] = sender
  message['subject'] = subject
  return {'raw': base64.urlsafe_b64encode(message.as_string())}

def main():
  credentials = get_credentials()
  http = credentials.authorize(httplib2.Http())
  service = discovery.build('gmail', 'v1', http=http)
  message = create_message(
    'sender@gmail.com', 'receiver@gmail.com', 'Subject', 'Message text'
  )
  send_message(service, 'me', message)
