How can I use Twilio with Python from PyPI?

You can use Twilio with Python by installing the Twilio package from PyPI. First, run pip install twilio.

What are the basic functionalities I can implement with Twilio?

With Twilio, you can send SMS, make voice calls, and even set up video calls. It also supports messaging apps.

Can you show me a simple code example for sending an SMS?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from twilio.rest import Client

# Your Account SID and Auth Token from twilio.com/console
account_sid = 'your_account_sid'
auth_token = 'your_auth_token'
client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)

message = client.messages.create(
    body='Hello from Twilio!',
    from_='+1234567890',  # Your Twilio number
    to='+0987654321'      # Recipient's number
)
print(message.sid)

What do I need to set up before running this code?

You need to sign up for a Twilio account, get your Account SID and Auth Token, and purchase a Twilio phone number.
