azure_nspkg_namespace_package_explanation_and_usage.py

1# The azure-nspkg (and azure-mgmt-nspkg) packages are namespace packages.
2# They do not contain functional code or logic. Their sole purpose is to 
3# reserve the 'azure' namespace so that multiple SDK packages (like 
4# azure-storage-blob or azure-identity) can coexist under the same 
5# top-level 'azure' folder in Python versions that do not support 
6# native PEP 420 implicit namespaces (primarily Python 2.7).

8# Since this is a distribution utility package, there is no "runnable" 
9# quickstart code. You simply install the functional library you need:
10
11# pip install azure-storage-blob
12
13# Then, you import the specific service library:
14from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient
15
16# Example of checking the 'azure' namespace path:
17import azure
18print(f"Azure namespace location: {azure.__path__}")
