Make a Phone Call with a Duration Limit Using Python and Twilio Programmable Voice

You can make a phone call from a Python application using Twilio Programmable Voice, with the added benefit of setting a predefined maximum duration for the call. To start, create a new Python project and set up your environment by installing the required dependencies, including the Twilio Python Helper library. You will also need to define your Twilio account credentials as environment variables and buy a Twilio phone number. The code provided in the tutorial demonstrates how to make a simple voice call with a predefined message, as well as connect you directly to another party's phone without having to dial their number. Additionally, it shows how to set a call duration limit by specifying a time limit in seconds. With this application, you can automate phone calls and ensure that they do not exceed a predetermined duration, making it useful for various use cases such as customer support or telemarketing.
