Very much depends on your country, but have a look at esendex.com they offer
a very good api, I can speak from experience! There isn't a python SDK, but
they have examples in other languages, so it shouldn't be too hard to draft
one up and all there specs are based on standard protocols and are well
documented. 

They can also received texts on your behalf and will ping your servers with
the messages.

If you sign up they give you a free account for a while, if this isn't
enough call them and explain the situation, they gave us 1500 free text's to
use whilst we developed the system.

Been very impressed by them

afaik clickatell can receive sms messages on your behalf and trigger
some sort of callback to your server. not sure how it works though.

can you share some other service names, not necessarily cheaper but
with a decent api like clickatell has?
