ImportError: cannot import name 'SerializationError' from 'azure.core.exceptions'

• Package Name: azure-storage-blob
• Package Version: 12.9.0
• Operating System: Azure Databricks Cluster
• Python Version: 3.8

Describe the bug Attempts to import BlobProperties from azure.storage.blob results in an error: ImportError: cannot import name 'SerializationError' from 'azure.core.exceptions' (/databricks/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/azure/core/exceptions.py)

Importantly, this is something that started happening out of the blue, everything was working fine for quite some time. This seems to have occurred within this week. At the same time, we use fixed packages so the problem would have to be an integration problem:

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Attempt to import BlobProperties, from azure.storage.blob import BlobProperties
2. See the error: ImportError: cannot import name 'SerializationError' from 'azure.core.exceptions' (/databricks/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/azure/core/exceptions.py)

"that started happening out of the blue, everything was working fine for quite some time. “

Completely unreliable. How on earth do things work fine for quite some time … then WITHOUT USER CODE CHANGES, behind the scenes, you start screwing up everything??

Pinning the version is not the fix. Tell us what you changed for transparency sake. Stop treating this as if the dev screwed up. Obviously YOU changed something. I had the same experience. No code change. Then suddenly one day redeploying the same code with only a minor config update, everything is broke and now requires version pinning?? Running stuff on your platform is a real crap-shoot.

Thank goodness most of my customers are on AWS.

msrest 0.7.0 requires azure-core 1.24.0. If anyone pins azure-core, but not msrest, you may end up in a scenario were pip will upgrade only msrest, but not azure-core. This is a pip update problem, as we didn’t do a mistake in our setup.py of msrest

The recommended approach is to either pin to msrest 0.6.21 and any version of azure-core, or to ping to msrest 0.7.0 + azure-core 1.24.0. The last one is the prefered one, as you get more updated packages.
