could python be made to open an e-mail client and have it send mail?

That depends on exactly what you want to do.

If all you want to do is to send email, you don't need a client -- just
open a SMTP port, or a pipe to /usr/sbin/sendmail, and send it off.

See the Library Reference for details, esp. the email and smtplib packages.
