It provides abstractions for creating chat threads, sending and receiving messages, managing thread participants, and handling typing notifications and read receipts. The library handles authentication via Azure tokens and manages HTTP communication with Azure's backend services.\n\nYou use it by instantiating a ChatClient with an Azure endpoint and credentials, then creating or accessing chat threads through ChatThreadClient instances. The library supports one-to-one and group conversations, with features like message history sharing, participant management, and typing indicators. It depends on azure-core for common Azure SDK patterns and isodate for timestamp handling.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a production-stable, actively maintained official SDK from Microsoft with no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. Install it if you are building on Azure Communication Services and need Python chat functionality; it is the standard choice for that use case."},"id":"azure-communication-chat","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-communication-chat","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-communication-chat.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/azure-communication-chat/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-04-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"azure-communication-chat","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Microsoft Azure Communication Chat Client Library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":134063,"position":11488,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.0"}
