I am trying to run the example code on Windows 10 and when simple import cause this error

You're using the wrong library!

print("""

  / _  / / // / _ \\/  '_/
 /____/_/\\_, /_//_/_/\\_\\

test code:

from __future__ import print_function

import BlynkLib
import errno
import socket
import time
from BlynkTimer import BlynkTimer

BLYNK_AUTH = '-------'
blynk = BlynkLib.Blynk(BLYNK_AUTH)
timer = BlynkTimer()
cnt = 0

def update_virtual_led():
  global cnt
  if(cnt%2 == 0): #check for even number
    blynk.virtual_write(10, 0)
    time.sleep(.1)
  else:
    blynk.virtual_write(10, 255)
    time.sleep(.1)
  cnt += 1


def uptime():
  blynk.virtual_write(0, round(time.time() / 1000, 2))


@blynk.on("connected")

    print('Blynk ready. Ping:', ping, 'ms')
    blynk.sync_virtual()


@blynk.on("disconnected")

    print('Blynk disconnected')


timer.set_interval(1, update_virtual_led) #update virtual leds 1 secs
timer.set_interval(1, uptime)

  while True:

    except socket.error as e:

        print("msg from blynkmain @ " + str(dt.now()))
        raise

I installed it with the pip command mentioned in the readme and the os still cause the error. But then I copied the BlynkLib.py file and placed it in the same folder of the testing code and it works. I am new to this and not sure why and how it works with the source file rather then the pip installed version.

the pip installed version.

What that did is pulling the lib from a different git. “os.uname” was the clue 😉
