message_subject = "Say Hello"

cur = con.cursor()
select = cur.execute("select telephone from person")

        + str(message_text)
to_addrs = to + cc + bcc
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login('xxxxxx','xxxxxx')
#server.set_debuglevel(1)

#for message_text in cur.fetchall():
#   print(message_text)

for message_text in cur.fetchall():
    server.sendmail(from_addr, to_addrs, message)

server.quit()
con.close()

Answer 1

You are printing the cursor object instead of retrieving a value from the cursor. The execute method returns the cursor itself (so select and cur are the same object).

Instead you need to use:

cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute("select telephone from person")
message_text = cur.fetchone()
