Twilio developer evangelist here.

I know you've answered yourself by changing the version of the library from 6.0 to 5.6.0, but that's what alerted me to the actual problem!

When using the Twilio Python helper library version 6.0, you need to import Client not TwilioRestClient.

I wonder if you had the documentation set to show the 5.6.0 library examples. If you want to use 6.0 (which you should as it is the most up to date) make sure you have the latest version selected in the docs. See the image below for how to select it.

I know what's wrong. The version of twilio is 6.0 when the error happend; I try to change the version of twilio, I change it to 5.6.0,there is no error shows.
