Python SQLAlchemy create_Engine error "Connection time out"

I have read quite a few posts around this but couldn't find a resolution. I am able to read from Postgres but getting a connection time out error when I use create_engine string. I know the credentials are correct because I can read from PostGres.
My aim is to write dataframe (df) to postgres directly from Python and going forward keep appending the rows to that table. I have changed the password and the IP address in the example below. Not sure if this is relevant but I am using Tunnel in Putty to connect to remote server and launch Jupyter notebook and then trying to write to Postgres DB.
My code
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
import psycopg2
import io
password = 'Pas#$tk$#a' #This is just an example. MY password has special characters
engine = create_engine('postgresql+psycopg2://admin:password#1.12.11.1:5432/DEV_Sach_D', connect_args={'sslmode':'require'}, echo=True).connect() # I have changed the IP here for security reasons
conn = engine.connect()
df.to_sql('py_stg_test', con=conn, if_exists='replace',index=False)
Error I get

(Background on this error at: https://sqlalche.me/e/14/e3q8)

Very silly of me. I was using the wrong IP in the string. Instead of using POSTGRES DB name I was using the IP of the machine itself.
Thanks to all who answered.

Error 11001 when running SMTP with Anaconda 3 Python

On Udemy, the instructor is showing us how to use SMTP. I am using Jupyter Notebook (I know it's just to learn the basics then I am going to switch over to an IDE) and Anaconda (Python). When I run this I get these errors. (This happens with no port numbers, and the 2 port numbers our teacher told us 587,465. I also turned off windows firewall when doing this because that might have been interfering but it still didn't work.

TimeoutError - Traceback (most recent call last), Django-app - sending e-mails. Python

I tried to change the settings 'TLS', 'mail port' and 'SSL' but they always ended with the same error.
When the code runs outside the application everything works fine:
file_works_properly.py
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
msg = MIMEText('Title') #Tresc wiadomosci
msg['Subject'] = "Hello world"
msg['From'] = "XXX#mg.bbb.com"
msg['To'] = "ccc#ccc.com"
s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.mailgun.org', 587)
s.login('####mg.bbb.com', '3###baa5e1f3###-26fa###0987')
s.sendmail(msg['From'], msg['To'], msg.as_string())
s.quit()
Every help will be appreciated.

The addition of three imports solved my problem (for 'python manage.py shell' or to the views.py file):
imports (in views.py/shell):
from django.contrib import messages
from django.core.mail import send_mail
from django.conf import settings
The rest of the activities are unchanged:
settings.py
[...]
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myemail#gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'mypassowrd'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
To send e-mail (in views.py/shell)
send_mail(subject, message, from_email, [to_list_email])
(*Important for gmail.com) - and often this option must be enabled.

Python SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER (_ssl.c:590) using urllib with a proxy

This code used to run flawlessly. I haven't changed anything but tried using it from a different location, behind a proxy, and I get this error:
IOError: [Errno socket error] [SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:590)
Here's where it fails:
gcontext = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
data = urllib.urlopen("https://itunes.apple.com/us/rss/topfreeapplications/limit=50/genre=" + str(category) + "/json", "download.txt", context = gcontext).read()
I immediately thought that the problem might come from the proxy I'm using, but don't know how to tell python to use that proxy as well. The solutions in this thread did not help me (same error).
And here's the full traceback:
IOError Traceback (most recent call last)
