First, I encourage you to use Python 3 instead Python 2, you'll be a better person.

About the error, it returns a 451 http error, doing a quick search in Google, I got this: HTTP 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons

I'm going to give you possible solutions:

  1. Check if your phone can send messages: Go to Dashboard -> Phone Numbers - Manage Numbers -> Click on your Twilio number. Here on the bottom you can see in "Messaging" if you can send SMS. I can't and I have a "Messaging is unavailable for this phone number." message.

  2. Check if you have your country enable to send SMS: SMS Geographic Permissions link.

  3. The other option (and most likely) is that Twilio can't send you SMS to your country for legal reasons. Here you can check if there is any problem with sending messages from your Twilio phone to your phone country.

I hope it helps
