Another SMS gateway with a Python interface is TextMagic. Their Python API is available from the Google Code project textmagic-sms-api-python. They have libraries available for other languages as well; all wrapping a simple HTTPS API.

Code samples from the project website:

How to send an SMS:

import textmagic.client
client = textmagic.client.TextMagicClient('your_username', 'your_api_password')
result = client.send("Hello, World!", "1234567890")
message_id = result['message_id'].keys()[0]

And retrieve its delivery status:

response = client.message_status(message_id)
status = response[message_id]['status']
