# azureml-train

## What it is and what it does

azureml-train is a deprecated package that once provided Azure Machine Learning training functionality. It now serves primarily as a redirect to azureml-train-core, its successor. The package depends on azureml-train-core at runtime, meaning installing azureml-train will pull in the core package anyway. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.11 on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

The package is in a transition state: it remains marked as active with recent releases, yet the official description warns that it 'might not receive future updates and removed from the distribution altogether.' For new projects, Microsoft recommends using azureml-train-core directly rather than this wrapper.

Use it for:

- Maintaining legacy code that imports from azureml-train without immediate refactoring
- Gradual migration from azureml-train to azureml-train-core in existing projects
- Development on Windows, macOS, or Linux using Azure ML training APIs

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

A deprecated wrapper package that redirects users to azureml-train-core for Azure Machine Learning training functionality.

No. Do not install this package for new work. It is explicitly deprecated and will eventually be removed. Install azureml-train-core directly instead. If you have existing code importing azureml-train, plan a migration to azureml-train-core as soon as feasible rather than relying on this wrapper long-term.

## Install

pip install azureml-train
uv add azureml-train
poetry add azureml-train

## Installing azureml-train

Before you install: Low install friction, but the package is explicitly deprecated. The fact sheet marks maintenance status as active with a recent release (170 days ago), yet the description states the package 'might not receive future updates and removed from the distribution altogether.' This signals a transition period where the package still works but is being phased out in favor of azureml-train-core.

License in practice: License treatment is marked unclear; the raw license URL points to https://aka.ms/azureml-sdk-license without an SPDX identifier. Users should verify the actual license terms before adopting this package, particularly if proprietary restrictions matter to your use case.

Quickstart:

pip install azureml-train==1.62.0
import azureml.train
# Note: package is deprecated; use azureml-train-core instead

Python 3.8 or later required; package is deprecated and may be removed in future versions.

Verify before relying:

- Exact timeline for when azureml-train will be removed from distribution
- Whether azureml-train-core is a drop-in replacement or requires code changes
- Specific features or APIs that differ between azureml-train and azureml-train-core
