I have a problem with encoding with russian language for my python script

Question:

I am trying to send an email from my python project. But my method doesn’t work with russian language.

import smtplib

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login('[email protected]', 'pasword')
server.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]', 'привет')
server.quit()

I have this error: UnicodeEncodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t encode character in position 0-4: ordinal not range(128)
For English it is working.
Python 3.6
