Schedule a Twilio Call with Iron.io

I'm attempting to schedule a call to be made at a particular time. The following python code makes the call:

#Download the library from twilio.com/docs/libraries
from twilio.rest import TwilioRestClient

# Get these credentials from http://twilio.com/user/account
account_sid = "myaccountsid"
auth_token = "myauthtoken"
client = TwilioRestClient(account_sid, auth_token)

# Make the call
call = client.calls.create(to="+12345789123",  # Any phone number
                           from_="+12345789123", # Must be a valid Twilio number
                           url="http://twimlets.com/holdmusic?Bucket=com.twilio.music.ambient")
print call.sid

and this code is a .worker used for Iron.io:

# define the runtime language
runtime "python"

gem 'twilio-ruby'
gem 'uber_config'

# exec is the file that will be executed:
exec "makecall.py"

Using this tutorial.

However, I receive the following exception:

What am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • Looks like you are trying to use Ruby gems in your .worker file with a python script. You should be using pip for Python libraries. Try changing your .worker file to this:

    runtime 'python'

# dependencies
pip 'twilio'

# executable
exec 'mycall.py'
