    From the README

    This repository is for the active development of the Azure SDK for Python. For consumers of the SDK we recommend visiting our public developer docs or our versioned developer docs.

    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 3.9 or later. For more details, please read our page on Azure SDK for Python version support policy.
