Microsoft Azure SDK for Python

This is the Microsoft Azure IoT Hub Management Client Library. This package has been tested with Python 3.7+. For a more complete view of Azure libraries, see the azure sdk python release.

Disclaimer

Azure SDK Python packages support for Python 2.7 has ended 01 January 2022. For more information and questions, please refer to https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/issues/20691

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+ is required to use this package.
• Azure subscription

Install the package

pip install azure-mgmt-iothub
pip install azure-identity

Authentication

By default, Azure Active Directory token authentication depends on correct configure of following environment variables.

• AZURE_CLIENT_ID for Azure client ID.
• AZURE_TENANT_ID for Azure tenant ID.
• AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET for Azure client secret.

In addition, Azure subscription ID can be configured via environment variable AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID.

With above configuration, client can be authenticated by following code:

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.iothub import IotHubClient
import os

sub_id = os.getenv("AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID")
client = IotHubClient(credential=DefaultAzureCredential(), subscription_id=sub_id)

1.0.0 (2020-12-18)

• GA release

1.0.0b1 (2020-11-12)

This is beta preview version.

This version uses a next-generation code generator that introduces important breaking changes, but also important new features (like unified authentication and async programming).

General breaking changes

• Credential system has been completly revamped:

  • azure.common.credentials or msrestazure.azure_active_directory instances are no longer supported, use the azure-identity classes instead: https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/azure-identity/
  • credentials parameter has been renamed credential

• The config attribute no longer exists on a client, configuration should be passed as kwarg. Example: MyClient(credential, subscription_id, enable_logging=True). For a complete set of supported options, see the parameters accept in init documentation of azure-core

• You can't import a version module anymore, use __version__ instead

• Operations that used to return a msrest.polling.LROPoller now returns a azure.core.polling.LROPoller and are prefixed with begin_.

• Exceptions tree have been simplified and most exceptions are now azure.core.exceptions.HttpResponseError (CloudError has been removed).

• Most of the operation kwarg have changed. Some of the most noticeable:

  • raw has been removed. Equivalent feature can be found using cls, a callback that will give access to internal HTTP response for advanced user
  • For a complete set of supported options, see the parameters accept in Request documentation of azure-core

General new features

• Type annotations support using typing. SDKs are mypy ready.
• This client has now stable and official support for async. Check the aio namespace of your package to find the async client.
• This client now support natively tracing library like OpenCensus or OpenTelemetry. See this tracing quickstart for an overview.

0.9.0rc1 (2019-09-29)

Features

General breaking changes

This version uses a next-generation code generator that might introduce breaking changes if from some import. In summary, some modules were incorrectly visible/importable and have been renamed. This fixed several issues caused by usage of classes that were not supposed to be used in the first place.

• IotHubClient cannot be imported from azure.mgmt.iothub.iot_hub_client anymore (import from azure.mgmt.iothub works like before)
• IotHubClientConfiguration import has been moved from azure.mgmt.iothub.iot_hub_client to azure.mgmt.iothub
• A model MyClass from a "models" sub-module cannot be imported anymore using azure.mgmt.iothub.models.my_class (import from azure.mgmt.iothub.models works like before)
• An operation class MyClassOperations from an operations sub-module cannot be imported anymore using azure.mgmt.iothub.operations.my_class_operations (import from azure.mgmt.iothub.operations works like before)

Last but not least, HTTP connection pooling is now enabled by default. You should always use a client as a context manager, or call close(), or use no more than one client per process.

0.5.0 (2018-04-17)

General Breaking changes

This version uses a next-generation code generator that might introduce breaking changes.

• Model signatures now use only keyword-argument syntax. All positional arguments must be re-written as keyword-arguments. To keep auto-completion in most cases, models are now generated for Python 2 and Python 3. Python 3 uses the "*" syntax for keyword-only arguments.
• Enum types now use the "str" mixin (class AzureEnum(str, Enum)) to improve the behavior when unrecognized enum values are encountered. While this is not a breaking change, the distinctions are important, and are documented here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/enum.html#others At a glance:
  • "is" should not be used at all.
  • "format" will return the string value, where "%s" string formatting will return NameOfEnum.stringvalue. Format syntax should be prefered.
• New Long Running Operation:
  • Return type changes from msrestazure.azure_operation.AzureOperationPoller to msrest.polling.LROPoller. External API is the same.
  • Return type is now always a msrest.polling.LROPoller, regardless of the optional parameters used.
  • The behavior has changed when using raw=True. Instead of returning the initial call result as ClientRawResponse, without polling, now this returns an LROPoller. After polling, the final resource will be returned as a ClientRawResponse.
  • New polling parameter. The default behavior is Polling=True which will poll using ARM algorithm. When Polling=False, the response of the initial call will be returned without polling.
  • polling parameter accepts instances of subclasses of msrest.polling.PollingMethod.
  • add_done_callback will no longer raise if called after polling is finished, but will instead execute the callback right away.
