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.

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.

The client libraries are supported on Python 2.7 and 3.5.3 or later.

Each service might have a number of libraries available from each of the following categories:

• Client - July 2019 Preview
• Client - Stable
• Management

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.

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.

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.
