azure-mgmt-synapse

What it is and what it does

This is Microsoft's official Python client library for managing Azure Synapse Analytics resources. It provides programmatic access to create, configure, and manage Synapse workspaces, SQL pools, big data pools, integration runtimes, and related infrastructure through the Azure Resource Manager API. The library wraps REST API calls and exposes them as Python objects and methods, handling authentication, serialization, and error handling.

The package is part of the broader Azure SDK for Python ecosystem and integrates with azure-identity for credential management and azure-core for common patterns like polling and exception handling. It supports both synchronous operations and async variants, with type hints for IDE support and mypy compatibility. The library is actively maintained and tested against multiple Python versions, though the latest release (2.0.0 from April 2021) is over two years old.

Use it for:

• Automate provisioning and configuration of Synapse workspaces and SQL pools in CI/CD pipelines.
• Build management dashboards or tools that query and modify Synapse resource properties programmatically.
• Implement infrastructure-as-code workflows for Azure Synapse deployments across multiple environments.
• Manage workspace security settings, sensitivity labels, and data masking policies at scale.
• Integrate Synapse resource lifecycle management into larger Azure automation frameworks.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides Python client library for programmatically managing Azure Synapse workspaces, SQL pools, and related resources through the Azure Management API.

Yes, if you need to programmatically manage Azure Synapse resources from Python. The package is officially maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is actively used (5.4M monthly downloads). However, note that the latest release is from April 2021; verify that its API coverage and models match your current Synapse feature set before committing to production use.

Install

azure-mgmt-synapse on PyPI

pip install azure-mgmt-synapse

uv add azure-mgmt-synapse

poetry add azure-mgmt-synapse

Installing azure-mgmt-synapse

Before you install

Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution. Actively maintained with recent commits and no known vulnerabilities. Depends on msrest, azure-common, azure-mgmt-core, and azure-mgmt-nspkg.

License in practice

MIT License permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, making it suitable for both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart

pip install azure-mgmt-synapse

from azure.mgmt.synapse import SynapseManagementClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = SynapseManagementClient(credential, subscription_id)

Requires Azure subscription and proper authentication credentials (azure-identity package recommended for credential handling).

Verify before relying

• Whether async client support is available in the aio namespace as mentioned in release notes.
• Current support status for Python 2.7 given its end-of-life; package classifiers list 2.7 but latest release was 2021-04-08.
