from sender import PyMS
pyms = PyMS()
pyms.connect()
pyms.send_sms('1234567890', GATEWAYS['SPRINT']['SMS_EMAIL'], "Test")
pyms.disconnect()PyMS uses a few default settings to make this all work. The following inputs can be provided to PyMS(...)

Defaults to system environment variablePYMS_PASSWORDhostthe SMTP server hostname. Defaults to smtp.gmail.comportthe SMTP server port. Defaults to 465
As found out from radtek on Stack Overflow, you need to allow your Gmail account to work with a less secure app by flipping a switch here https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps as this type of login is considered unsecure
PyMS uses SMS / MMS gateways to deliver messages to a mobile device. Most US carriers should be provided in the GATEWAYS dict in gateways.py for usage. These gateways taken from here
Currently the carrier of the mobile device must be known to send a message
This may be overcome by hitting http://www.fonefinder.net/ and scraping the results however it presents issues if a user changes there carrier but maintains the same phone number. Most other services are paid for including any API's that exist.
