Cannot import AppendBlob from Azure Storage blob

Lucia Casucci 41 Microsoft Employee

I am trying to use AppendBlob

I installed the libraries azure-storage-blob and I was doing other scripts calling BlobClient and Container Client with no issue
However when I import AppendBlob, I am always getting an error "cannot import name 'AppendBlobService' from 'azure.storage.blob' "

any idea on how to make it work?

Thanks in advance - see screenshot below

I have the same import error in Ubuntu. The solution to upgrade/install azure-storage doesn't work as it is deprecated. Is AppendBlob not supported in Python?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-storage-blob/azure.storage.blob.appendblobservice.appendblobservice?view=azure-python-previous&viewFallbackFrom=azure-python

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "...append.py", line 6, in <module>
from azure.storage.blob import AppendBlobService
ImportError: cannot import name 'AppendBlobService' from 'azure.storage.blob' (.../.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/azure/storage/blob/__init__.py)

azure-storage:

Starting with v0.37.0, the 'azure-storage' meta-package is deprecated and cannot be installed anymore.

Hello @Lucia Casucci ,
I was able to repro the same issue locally but after running pip install azure-storage --upgrade error is gone.
Can you kindly try out from your end ?

I just tried only sample piece of Import code for which same error was thrown , but after --upgrade it went through successfully.

from azure.storage import blob
from azure.storage.blob import AppendBlobService

Regards,
Shiva.
