Azure SDK for Python
This repository contains official Python libraries for Azure services. For documentation go to Azure SDK for Python documentation.
You can find a complete list of all the packages for these libraries here.
Getting started
For your convenience, each service has a separate set of libraries that you can choose to use instead of one, large Azure package. To get started with a specific library, see the README.md
(or README.rst
) file located in the library's project folder.
You can find service libraries in the /sdk
directory.
Prerequisites
The client libraries are supported on Python 2.7 and 3.5.3 or later.
Packages available
Each service might have a number of libraries available from each of the following categories:
Client: July 2019 Preview
New wave of packages that we are currently releasing in Preview. These libraries allow you to use and consume existing resources and interact with them, for example: upload a blob. These libraries share a number of core functionalities such as: retries, logging, transport protocols, authentication protocols, etc. that can be found in the azure-core library. You can learn more about these libraries by reading guidelines that they follow here.
The libraries released in July preview:
- azure-cosmos
- azure-eventhubs
- azure-keyvault-keys
- azure-keyvault-secrets
- azure-identity
- azure-storage-blob
- azure-storage-file
- azure-storage-queue
NOTE: If you need to ensure your code is ready for production use one of the stable libraries.
Client: Stable
Last stable versions of packages that have been provided for usage with Azure and are production-ready. These libraries provide you with similar functionalities to the Preview ones as they allow you to use and consume existing resources and interact with them, for example: upload a blob.
Management
Libraries which enable you to provision specific resources. They are responsible for directly mirroring and consuming Azure service's REST endpoints. The management libraries use the azure-mgmt-<service name>
convention for their package names.
