# v2 API Python Code Example

> \[!WARNING]
>
> To access all the latest features and upcoming developments, please see our [v3 API](/docs/sendgrid/api-reference). For assistance with transitioning, refer to our [migration guide](/docs/sendgrid/for-developers/migration-guides/v2-to-v3-api).

> \[!NOTE]
>
> We recommend using SendGrid Python, our client library, [available on GitHub](https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-python), with full documentation.

> \[!NOTE]
>
> The library does not officially support the V2 API, but you can use V2 with an older version of the library. For more information, see [Continue Using V2 in Python](https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-python/blob/main/TROUBLESHOOTING.md#v2).

## Using SendGrid's Python Library

The following example sends an email with the Twilio SendGrid Python library:

```python title="Send email with the Twilio SendGrid Python library"
# using SendGrid's Python Library
# https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-python
import sendgrid

client = sendgrid.SendGridClient("SENDGRID_APIKEY")
message = sendgrid.Mail()

message.add_to("test@sendgrid.com")
message.set_from("you@example.com")
message.set_subject("Sending with SendGrid is Fun")
message.set_html("and easy to do anywhere, even with Python")

client.send(message)
```
