How can I use the Twilio Python library to send SMS?

To send SMS using the Twilio Python library, first install the library using pip install twilio. Then, you can use the following code snippet.

What does the code look like?

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.
