Azure SDK for Python

INSTALLATION

The latest recommended release is currently a release candidate, tell this to pip to install it!

The azure bundle meta-package will install all Azure SDKs at once:

  • Use the --pre flag: pip install --pre azure
  • Specify the version: pip install azure==2.0.0rc6

You can also install only what you exactly need:

  • Use the --pre flag: pip install --pre azure-mgmt-compute
  • Specify the version: pip install azure-mgmt-compute==0.30.0rc6

If you want to install azure from source:

git clone git://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python.git
cd azure-sdk-for-python
python setup.py install

DISCLAIMER

This is a release candidate. However, the core packages, from code quality/completeness perspectives can at this time be considered “stable” - it will be officially labeled as such in September (in sync with other languages).

We are not planning on any further major changes until then.

The following packages are still labeled “preview” but can be considered “stable”:

  • azure-mgmt-resource 0.30.0rc6
  • azure-mgmt-compute 0.30.0rc6
  • azure-mgmt-network 0.30.0rc6
  • azure-mgmt-storage 0.30.0rc6

The following packages are already released as “stable” and are officially production ready:

  • azure-batch 1.0.0
  • azure-mgmt-batch 1.0.0
  • azure-servicebus 0.20.3
  • azure-servicemanagement-legacy 0.20.4

All other packages are real “preview” packages. Please send us your feedback!
