RE: Can my python program send me a text message?
This is a very good point since I am already finding that the arrival of texts, and voice mail, seem to be irregular with respect to delivery times with my phone as it is. On the other hand, I was not thinking fourth dimensionally when I thought about using text mail for this project. Since I am planning to migrate this program into my phone eventually, I can just use the beep in the phone instead. When I get the transfer done, I can then think about how to get the phone to make the sounds. Still, Python-to-text messaging code is an interesting concept to explore should I want to use it the future.

There are APIs that will help you with that. Search the web for "text message api" and see what you can find. (Be aware that some of them will ask you to pay money.) Then pick one of them and see if you can access it from Python. Some telephone carriers provide cost-free email-to-SMS gateways. Most of them will be HTTP-based APIs, so you will do well to use the "requests" module. Send email over SMTP; use Python's standard smtplib module.
