I've added the Azure package to my Anaconda distribution and also installed the Azure Storage SDK for Python. I'm attempting to read the files already uploaded to a specific blob container using:
from azure.storage import BlobService
blob_service = BlobService(account_name='azure subscription name',
account_key='azure subscription key')
blobs = []
marker = None
while True:
batch = blob_service.list_blobs('vrc', marker=marker, prefix='VRC_')
blobs.extend(batch)
if not batch.next_marker:
break
marker = batch.next_marker
for blob in blobs:
print(blob.name)
When I run this script, I receive the following error:
ImportError: No module named 'azure.storage'
How do I resolve this issue so that I can read the text files and PDFs in my blob container?
Not quite sure how you installed the storage sdk, or what version you're using, but you should just need to do the following:
Install:
pip install azure-storage
Import and instantiate blob service:
from azure.storage.blob import BlockBlobService
blob_service = BlockBlobService(account_name="<storagename>",account_key="<storagekey>")
At that point, you should be able to list blobs (or download blobs, or whatever else you need to do).
