This error usually means there's a problem with the Python installation or the system variable PATH is not set up correctly. Try reinstalling Python and all its components to fix the problem. The easiest way is via the Python executable installer.
This is caused by the fact that the version of Python you're running your script with is not configured to search for modules where you've installed them. This happens when you use the wrong installation of pip to install packages.
pip is a package manager specific to Python, and is not installed by default on many systems.
So you first need to install pip. Assuming you are using raspbian, you need to use the apt-get command, which is the general-purpose package manager for Debian-based Linux systems such as raspbian:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
or the Python 2 version:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
then you should be able to install Python packages such as twilio using pip.
See this archive of the old Raspberry Pi guide for installing Python packages.
