Python Error Alerting with Twilio and SendGrid

A Python solution is presented to extend the standard logging library, sending application failure alerts through Twilio Programmable SMS and/or SendGrid Email APIs. The project set up involves creating a virtual environment, installing required libraries, and setting environment variables for API keys and phone numbers/email addresses. A custom HTTP Transport class is created using Twilio and SendGrid APIs to handle log messages, which are then used by a Logger object with multiple handlers to send alerts via SMS and/or email. The solution provides flexibility in case the code is reused in multiple projects, avoids hardcoding API secrets, and can be easily integrated into any Python project.
