The twilio python module and cloud communications platform .

Let's build apps that communicate with everyone in the world. Voice & Video, Messaging, and Authentication APIs for every application.
First, let's try to install it under Windows 10 operating system:
C:\>cd Python27
C:\Python27>cd Scripts
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install twilio

Now about phone Twilio numbers, then programmable phone Twilio numbers are a core part of Twilio’s platform, enabling you to receive SMS, MMS, and phone calls.
You can have some problems with SMS sending by country availability.
And one last example:
# /usr/bin/env python
# Download the twilio-python library from http://twilio.com/docs/libraries
from twilio.rest import Client

# Find these values at https://twilio.com/user/account
account_sid = "AC61b32be301f49f78f0ab3d69c4d335f6"
auth_token = "c8f37b65755900faa4fe7bbe1f948adb"
client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)

message = client.api.account.messages.create(to="+contry_allow_SMS",
                                             from_="++contry_allow_SMS",
                                             body="Hello python this is a twilio sms test")

Blender 3D - ellipsoid.

This is a simple way to use Blender 3D - version 2.78c with python scripting tool to make one ellipsoid.

The ellipsoid may be parameterized in several ways but I used the sin and cos functions:
x = sin(theta) * sin(phi)
y = cos(theta) * sin(phi)
z = cos(phi)

The steps I follow are:
  • make points of ellipsoid - CoordsPoints
  • define an ellipsoid vectors 
  • create a new mesh 
  • make rings for faces
  • make an ellipsoid
  • The verts_mesh and verts_mesh_face are used to make faces
  • put all into the Blender 3D scene

import bpy
import bmesh
from math import degrees, radians, sin, cos, tan
from mathutils import Vector


class CoordsPoints:
    @property
    def xyz(self):
        theta = self.theta
        phi = self.phi
        x = sin(theta) * sin(phi)
        y = cos(theta) * sin(phi)
        z = cos(phi)
        R = self.R
        return R * Vector((x,y,z))

    def __init__(self, R, theta, phi):
        self.R = R
        self.theta = theta
        self.phi = phi
        #self.xyz = self.point(theta, phi)

    def __repr__(self):
        return "Coords(%.4f, %.4f)" % (degrees(self.theta),
                                               degrees(self.phi))
# define the ellipsoid method.
def ellipsoid(a, b, c):
    def ellipsoid(v):
        x = a * (v.x)
        y = b * (v.y)
        z = c * (v.z)
        return Vector((x, y, z))
    return ellipsoid

# make the ellipsoid bmesh
bm = bmesh.new()

# TODO come up with a nicer way to do this.
rings = [[CoordsPoints(1, radians(theta), radians(phi)) 
                 for theta in range (0, 360, 2)]
                 for phi in range(0, 180, 2)]

h = ellipsoid(1.0, 1.0, 1.5)

verts_mesh = [bm.verts.new(h(p.xyz)) for p in rings[0]]
verts_mesh.append(verts_mesh[0])
for ring in range(1, len(rings)):

    verts_mesh_face = [bm.verts.new(h(p.xyz)) for p in rings[ring]]
    verts_mesh_face.append(verts_mesh_face[0])

    faces = [
        bm.faces.new((
            verts_mesh[i], verts_mesh_face[i],
            verts_mesh_face[i+1], verts_mesh[i+1]
        ))
        for i in range(len(verts_mesh) - 1)
    ]
    verts_mesh = verts_mesh_face

# create mesh link it to scene 
mesh = bpy.data.meshes.new("ellipsoid")
bm.to_mesh(mesh)
obj = bpy.data.objects.new("ellipsoid", mesh)
scene = bpy.context.scene
scene.objects.link(obj)
scene.objects.active = obj
obj.select = True
obj.location = scene.cursor_location
