It provides a familiar DB API interface that works with Python 3.9 and later, supporting all Kusto data types and enabling queries from Jupyter notebooks, Azure Databricks, and other Python environments.\n\nThe library offers both synchronous and asynchronous query clients. The sync client uses a context manager pattern to maintain a connection pool for efficiency, while the async variant (installed via the \"aio\" extra) returns awaitables for non-blocking queries. Authentication is handled through Azure Active Directory using application credentials or other AAD methods. The package depends on azure-identity, azure-core, requests, msal, python-dateutil, and ijson for parsing.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is the official, actively maintained client for Kusto queries in Python. It has low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and is widely used (top 5000 on PyPI). Install it if you need to query Kusto clusters from Python; skip it only if you have no Kusto infrastructure or prefer a different query interface."},"id":"azure-kusto-data","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-kusto-data","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-kusto-data.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/azure-kusto-data/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-06","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"azure-kusto-data","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Kusto Data Client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":20373143,"position":1040,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.0.4"}
