SSL certificate error with Python sending email code

Question

Im trying to use python to build an email sender. Ive been getting an SSL certificate error, though I downloaded it. Im also getting an SMTP error, which i think shouldn't be happening. I've tried to fix this error but the solution I found was that of Mac and not windows. The error:

 with smtplib.SMTP_SSL( 'smtp.gmail.com' , 465, context=context) as smtp:
  File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\lib\python3.10\smtplib.py", line 1050, in __init__
    SMTP.__init__(self, host, port, local_hostname, timeout,
  File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\lib\python3.10\smtplib.py", line 255, in __init__
    (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)
  File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\lib\python3.10\smtplib.py", line 341, in connect
    self.sock = self._get_socket(host, port, self.timeout)
  File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\lib\python3.10\smtplib.py", line 1057, in _get_socket
    new_socket = self.context.wrap_socket(new_socket,
  File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\lib\python3.10\ssl.py", line 513, in wrap_socket
    return self.sslsocket_class._create(
  File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\lib\python3.10\ssl.py", line 1071, in _create
    self.do_handshake()
  File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\lib\python3.10\ssl.py", line 1342, in do_handshake
    self._sslobj.do_handshake()
ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:997)

The code:

from email.message import EmailMessage 
from emailApp import password 
import ssl

try:
    _create_unverified_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
except AttributeError:
    # Legacy Python that doesn't verify HTTPS certificates by default
    pass
else:
    # Handle target environment that doesn't support HTTPS verification
    ssl._create_default_https_context = _create_unverified_https_context
import smtplib

email_sender = 'example2@mail.com'
email_password = password


email_receiver = 'example@gmail.com'
subject = "msg"
body = """
    Hello
"""
em = EmailMessage()
em['From'] = email_sender
em['To'] = email_receiver
em['Subject'] = subject
em.set_content(body)
context = ssl.create_default_context()


context = ssl.create_default_context()

with smtplib.SMTP_SSL( 'smtp.gmail.com' , 465, context=context) as smtp:
    smtp.login(email_sender, email_password)
    smtp.sendmail(email_sender, email_receiver, em.as_string())
