It provides common code\u2014authentication, request signing, retry logic, and utility functions\u2014used by service-specific packages for blob, queue, and file storage. The package itself is not typically imported directly by end users; instead, it is a dependency of other Azure Storage packages.\n\nThe package depends on cryptography, requests, python-dateutil, and azure-common to handle secure communication, HTTP operations, date handling, and Azure SDK conventions. It supports Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 according to its classifiers. Because its last release was in August 2019 and no updates have been published since, it is considered dormant.","worth_installing":"No, not for new projects. This package is dormant (last release August 2019) and is a shared dependency of older Azure Storage SDK versions. For new work, install the service-specific packages you need directly\u2014they will pull in azure-storage-common as a transitive dependency if required. If you are maintaining legacy code that explicitly depends on it, install it only as needed to satisfy those older packages."},"id":"azure-storage-common","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-storage-common","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-storage-common.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/azure-storage-common/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-08-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"azure-storage-common","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Microsoft Azure Storage Common Client Library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":11309516,"position":1400,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.0"}
