Example IVR System with Python, Django, Pytest and Twilio

Source code for the article series posted on the Twilio blog:

• Building an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System with Python, Django and Twilio
• Testing a Twilio IVR System With Python and pytest

Quick Start

Clone project

$ git clone git@github.com:hakib/twilio-ivr-test.git

Setup using Make

$ make setup

This will create the virtual environment, install all the requirements and run the tests. Alternatively, you can setup the project manually.

Create virtual environment

$ cd twilio-ivr-test
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies

$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Run migrations

$ python ivr/manage.py migrate

Run project (you’ll need a twilio account and a secret auth token to accept calls)

$ TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=my-twilio-secret-token ivr/manage.py runserver

Run Tests

$ pytest ivr

Run mypy

$ mypy ivr
