Error: Import Twilio not Working

What's Causing This Error?

This situation can probably happen because the installation failed when installing the library.

Solution - Here's How To Resolve It

Make sure you have installed the library successfully and always use pip for the installation.

1
pip3 install twilio

Determine there are no files named twilio.py within the project folder as this may lead to a conflict with the library. In addition, make sure pip is properly configured; otherwise, the library may install elsewhere rather than in the intended location.

If you are sure the installation is complete, or if you re-installed without any issues, try running the below sample code to test.
