Can't use Twilio with python

Question

I used the code from the Twilio website to send a text message using python. I used real values, that I obtained during registration in the actual code. There aren't any XXXXXX in my program.

I removed the {{}} too. the code's still not working.

from twilio.rest import TwilioRestClient

account_sid = "{{ AC3XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX }}" # Your Account SID from www.twilio.com/console
auth_token  = "{{ 04e4c31XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX }}"  # Your Auth Token from www.twilio.com/console

client = TwilioRestClient(account_sid, auth_token)

message = client.messages.create(body="Hello from python. ",
    to="+447XXXXXXXXXX",    # Replace with your phone number
    from_="+4417XXXXXXXXXXX") # Replace with your Twilio number

print(message.sid)

This is the error I'm getting. What does this mean? Thanks!

Anyways, it looks like your terminal can't display the encoding of those messages. That should read HTTP Error: Your request was: — OneCricketeer

account_sid = "{{ account_sid }}" # Your Account SID from www.twilio.com/console

This does not mean place the value in the {{ }}. It means replace that entire string with your value.
