Twilio with python to repeat voice call until get answered?


I can make call using twilio programmable call as my python code here

The calls sometimes result as no-answer or busy i.e. the call get rejected or not-answered.

My google search here and search on our stackoverflow site here found little helpful result so I asked here - how to repeat calling until get answered?

p.s.

I'm looking for built-in solution from twilio directly e.g. some TwiML xml tag or attribute for callUntilAnswered='true'

    To run in background and multiple numbers at the same time, the sample code is here
