The new official Blynk library v0.2.0 for Python is released and available via github and pip.
It contains better support for ESP32 boards and Raspberry Pi, API improvements.
In fact, the library was completely rewritten, as previous version had too many problems.
Please check out the new README and examples.
Check it out here: https://github.com/vshymanskyy/blynk-library-python
And of course, do not forget to give it a github star! 
Happy Blynking!
Everything im testing works great. I found once i got into it, it was hard to stop playing 
notes: the timer lib wasnt included with the main lib when i ran the pip install. no big deal, just copied them over.
table.widget support and email would be my only requests from this library.
Thanks @vshymanskyy , nice work!

I agree⊠something about Python, itâs syntax, and the speed/simplicity of âedit, save, run/test, edit, save, run/testâŠâ (well, at least on a RPi) is a refreshing change from the Arduino IDE method.
I am finally even able to use Python 3.x
I looks like it is on its way⊠at least this small part of it is referenced in the library 
Like with BlynkTimer, clearly a work in progress, so keep updating as and when it looks like updates are released.
Just a quick note:
In the tweet _notify.py library example (or when checking a response from a button),
if value[0]: # is the the button is pressed?
checks for a string â0â or â1â for being a âlistâ so, the correct syntax should be
if (value[0] == '1'): # the button is pressed?
For non Python library, the value is an int.
Thanks, youâre right
Opps⊠so looks like I will soon have to change all my previously changed code back 
After trial and error I was able to get this to workâŠ
if value[0] == str('1'):
@vshymanskyy what do you mean with the note on line 70 of the BlynkLib These are mainly for backward-compatibility you can use âblynk.ON()â instead because blynk.ON doesnât substitute âVIRTUAL_WRITE/READâ, right?
Also, virtual pins (blynk, pin) are always treated as strings, right?
So, the following code is not correct
v_led_pin = 1
@blynk.VIRTUAL_WRITE(v_led_pin)
while this one is?
v_led_pin = '1'
v_arry = ['1', '2', '3']
@blynk.VIRTUAL_WRITE(v_led_pin)
@blynk.VIRTUAL_WRITE(v_arry[1])Hi @vshymanskyy, With the following test code I converted the old â@blynk.VIRTUAL_WRITEâ function to the new one â@blynk.ONâ as per the libraryâs note
These are mainly for backward-compatibility you can use âblynk.ON()â instead
However, I noticed an inconsistency with the type of variable it can be used. At times an array is admitted and at time itâs not.

Hmm⊠iâm confused⊠you say âofficial libraryâ. Whats the difference to the following one? Especially on the attribute âofficialâ?
I guess some people are helping out by adding extra codes to the lib making it âunofficialâ ?
I think they are bothe âofficialâ in the sense that they are mostly written by Blynkâs own @vshymanskyy⊠but the newest copy/version (0.2.4) is now under the Blynkkk GitHub banner as of a couple of months ago, probably making it the new, new official version 
Yes it looks like this is the new, new official library.
But I neither use or work on this one This is a fork for one of our potential customers.
I see⊠well, I donât want to mess up my installation with any potentially conflicting code, so I will stick with just your official 0.2.0 Hope you do keep it updated as needed.
On the subject of Python is anyone using SSL? If so could we see the code snippet please.
@Costas Hey Paul, just an off subject question: are you running your Python projects on a local or blynk-cloud server?
@Emilio during the test phase we run local Python to cloud based Blynk server but we also have remote Python server to a separate cloud based Blynker server. The second scenario is basically our production model after testing.
Problem: blynk.set_user_task(my_user_task, 3000)
AttributeError: âBlynkâ object has no attribute âset_user_taskâ
Question: what to do so with the attribute error,can someone answer me??

this was removed completely. please check out new examples
where is the new example?
Maybe the timer.py example here?:
