Is this a program problem or am I not configured in pythonanywhere? Thanks

After much research, I found we need to setup proxy manually! Ugh... Here is the added code for 2.7

import os
from urlparse 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)

Hi there, we now have a specific help page on setting up twilio to use the pythonanywhere proxy (for free accounts)
