Twilio failing with ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused : Forums : PythonAnywhere

I'm having trouble sending sms via Twilio, and I'm using the free account. I need help to resolve it. I read previous forum discussions, and I tried to incorporate the suggestion made to add proxy. But I'm not getting anywhere.

I've run my code using pdb in virualenv using the command below

python -m pdb twilio_sms.py

But i keep getting this error: ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused.

Code is:

from twilio.rest import TwilioRestClient
from twilio import TwilioRestException
import os
from urllib.parse import urlparse

from twilio.rest.resources import Connection
from twilio.rest.resources.connection import PROXY_TYPE_HTTP

proxy_url = os.environ.get("http_proxy")
host, port = urlparse(proxy_url).netloc.split(":")
Connection.set_proxy_info(host, int(port), proxy_type=PROXY_TYPE_HTTP)
# put your own credentials here
ACCOUNT_SID = "XXXX"
AUTH_TOKEN = "YYYY"

client = TwilioRestClient(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN)

twilio_message = client.messages.create(
    to="+1##########",
    from_="+1##########",
    body="This is a test 201501070916P",
    )

Error log is listed below
