azure-storage-blob 12.0.0

See original GitHub issue

Which service(blob, file, queue) does this issue concern?

Blob

Which version of the SDK was used? Please provide the output of `pip freeze`.

What problem was encountered?

cannot import name ‘BlockBlobService’ from ‘azure.storage.blob’

Have you found a mitigation/solution?

Revert back to v2.1.0

I just want to add that in pypi the documentation mentions to use from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient. However the documentation found in https://azure-storage.readthedocs.io/index.html still mentions using BlockBlobService instead. So can I clarify which package are we expected to import going forward?

I have to say though this is quite disappointing in that there has been no deprecation warnings for the BlockBlobService, where a new version has been released getting rid BlockBlobService entirely, which we rely on for our production services. If this is the case going forward for Azure python libraries, I am starting to question our long term strategy of using Azure.

This was a very major version bump (azure-storage-blob==2.1.0 -> azure-storage-blob==12.0.0) – I don’t know if Azure SDKs follow Semver, but if they do, that alone should be a big ol’ warning sign that APIs will have changed.

In my opinion, you should not be running production services without having pinned/locked your dependencies in a way that ensures you can test that exactly the versions of all dependencies you install have a fighting chance to work in your production environment, too. My tool of choice for pinning Python dependencies is pip-tools.
