Microsoft Azure CosmosDB Table Client Library for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are maintaining existing code that already depends on it. The package is abandoned, last updated in 2019, and Microsoft has moved to newer Azure SDKs. For new projects, use the current azure-data-tables package instead. If you must use this package, do so only in isolated, non-production environments or as a temporary measure during migration.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires an active Microsoft Azure account with CosmosDB Table service credentials (account name and key).
- Low install friction with standard dependencies, but the package is abandoned as of 2022-07-28 with no maintenance since the 2019-10-25 release.
- The repository is archived and no longer actively developed.

What it is and what it does
This is a Python client library for Microsoft Azure CosmosDB Table service, enabling CRUD operations on tables and entities, batch operations, and advanced table queries. It wraps HTTP calls to Azure's table storage backend using dependencies like requests, cryptography, and azure-common for authentication and communication.
The package is in Beta status and has been abandoned since mid-2022, with its last release in October 2019. It targets Python 2.7 and 3.3–3.6. While it remains available on PyPI and carries no known security vulnerabilities, its lack of maintenance means it will not receive updates for Azure API changes, security patches, or compatibility fixes for newer Python versions.
Use it for
- Migrate or maintain legacy Python applications that depend on azure-cosmosdb-table without rewriting to a newer Azure SDK.
- Prototype or develop against Azure CosmosDB Tables in environments locked to Python 2.7 or early Python 3 versions.
- Perform batch inserts, updates, or deletes of entities in Azure Table Storage from a Python script.
- Query and retrieve entities from existing CosmosDB Table partitions using the legacy SDK interface.
