Cannot import name 'BaseBlobService'

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I have a problem importing the class BaseBlobService. When I try:

from azure.storage.blob import BaseBlobService

I get the error: ImportError: cannot import name 'BaseBlobService'

Other classes, e.g. BlockBlobService work just fine. However with BaseBlobService I have to import the file baseblobservice.py first and then access the class using baseblobservice.BaseBlobService.

I imported using the line “from azure.storage.blob import baseblobservice” and in my code I wrote “baseblobservice.BaseBlobService(…)” and it worked.

Hi @mat178, I agree with you that it is unfortunately counter-intuitive, since what is returned is indeed not what someone reading the method signature expects. But we also want to return the blob properties while getting the content, and the documentation makes that part clear.
