Question

I am having the same problem as this thread regarding twilio-python:

twilio.rest missing from twilio python module version 2.0.8?

However I have the same problem but I have 3.3.3 installed. I still get “No module named rest” when trying to import twilio.rest.

Loading the library from stand alone python script works. So I know that pip installing the package worked.

from twilio.rest import TwilioRestClient


def main():
    account = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    client = TwilioRestClient(account, token)

    call = client.calls.create(to="[phone]", 
                               from_="[phone]", 
                               url="http://ironblanket.herokuapp.com/",
                               method="GET") 

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

but this does not work:

from twilio.rest import TwilioRestClient


def home(request):
    client = TwilioRestClient(account, token)

Do you have any idea what I can try next?

Answer 1

I named a python file in my project twilio.py. Since that file was loaded first, then subsequent calls to load twilio would reference that file instead of the twilio library.

TLDR: just don’t name your python file twilio.py
