The Azure SDK for Python is a set of libraries which allow you to work on Azure for your management, runtime or data needs.

For a more general view of Azure and Python, you can go on the Python Developer Center for Azure

## Installation

You can install individually each library for each Azure service:

    $ pip install azure-batch          # Install the latest Batch runtime library
    $ pip install azure-mgmt-scheduler # Install the latest Storage management library

Preview packages can be installed using the `--pre` flag:

    $ pip install --pre azure-mgmt-compute # will install only the latest Compute Management library

More details and information about the available libraries and their status can be found in the Installation Page
