should run it like this:

/usr/local/sbin/sendsms.py <number> <message inside quotes>

or
/whatever/directory/you-put-it-in/sendsms.py <number> <message inside quotes>


DId you chmod it to be executable?

Am checking now, but I think I got it when I was working on advanced-clock-plugin.

do you have a directory /usr/share/python ?
if you do, then it is probably something else missing

Anyone knows what's going on or how I can troubleshoot some more? (You can use the --verbose argument to show some more details).

Additional Notes:
1. Use the dbus-monitor to see dbus communication. Follow link #4 above on how to see the dbus CSD communication log.
2. The phone number is expected to be in semi-octets
3. Each character in the message should be represented as an octet. Refer to this http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/hello.html link on how to convert a message to octets
