A simple api to send SMS messages with django. The api is structured the same way as Django's own email api.
::
pip install django-sendsms
Configure the SENDSMS_BACKEND (defaults to 'sendsms.backends.console.SmsBackend')::
SENDSMS_BACKEND = 'myapp.mysmsbackend.SmsBackend'
Sending SMSs is like sending emails::
from sendsms import api
api.send_sms(body='I can haz txt', from_phone='+41791111111', to=['+41791234567'])
You can also make instances of SmsMessage::
from sendsms.message import SmsMessage
message = SmsMessage(body='lolcats make me hungry', from_phone='+41791111111', to=['+41791234567'])
message.send()
Creating custom SmsBackend s::
from sendsms.backends.base import BaseSmsBackend
import some.sms.delivery.api
class AwesomeSmsBackend(BaseSmsBackend):
def send_messages(self, messages):
for message in messages:
for to in message.to:
try:
some.sms.delivery.api.send(
message=message.body,
from_phone=message.from_phone,
to_phone=to,
flashing=message.flash
)
except:
if not self.fail_silently:
raise
Then all you need to do is reference your backend in the SENDSMS_BACKEND setting.
::
python setup.py test
Or better, install and run "tox".
