Azure Core shared client library for Python

Azure core provides shared exceptions and modules for Python SDK client libraries. These libraries follow the Azure SDK Design Guidelines for Python .

If you are a client library developer, please reference client library developer reference for more information.

Getting started

Typically, you will not need to install azure core; it will be installed when you install one of the client libraries using it. In case you want to install it explicitly (to implement your own client library, for example), you can find it here.

Key concepts

Azure Core Library Exceptions

AzureError

AzureError is the base exception for all errors.

class AzureError(Exception):
    def __init__(self, message, *args, **kwargs):
        self.inner_exception = kwargs.get('error')
        self.exc_type, self.exc_value, self.exc_traceback = sys.exc_info()
        self.exc_type = self.exc_type.__name__ if self.exc_type else type(self.inner_exception)
        self.exc_msg = "{}, {}: {}".format(message, self.exc_type, self.exc_value)  # type: ignore
        self.message = str(message)
        super(AzureError, self).__init__(self.message, *args)

message is any message (str) to be associated with the exception.

args are any additional args to be included with exception.

kwargs are keyword arguments to include with the exception. Use the keyword error to pass in an internal exception.

The following exceptions inherit from AzureError:

ServiceRequestError

An error occurred while attempt to make a request to the service. No request was sent.

ServiceResponseError

The request was sent, but the client failed to understand the response. The connection may have timed out. These errors can be retried for idempotent or safe operations.

HttpResponseError

A request was made, and a non-success status code was received from the service.

class HttpResponseError(AzureError):
    def __init__(self, message=None, response=None, **kwargs):
        self.reason = None
        self.response = response
        if response:
            self.reason = response.reason
        message = "Operation returned an invalid status code '{}'".format(self.reason)
        try:
            try:
                if self.error.error.code or self.error.error.message:
                    message = "({}) {}".format(
                        self.error.error.code,
                        self.error.error.message)
            except AttributeError:
                if self.error.message: #pylint: disable=no-member
                    message = self.error.message #pylint: disable=no-member
        except AttributeError:
            pass
        super(HttpResponseError, self).__init__(message=message, **kwargs)

message is the HTTP response error message (optional)

response is the HTTP response (optional).

kwargs are keyword arguments to include with the exception.

The following exceptions inherit from HttpResponseError:

DecodeError

An error raised during response deserialization.

ResourceExistsError

An error response with status code 4xx. This will not be raised directly by the Azure core pipeline.

ResourceNotFoundError

An error response, typically triggered by a 412 response (for update) or 404 (for get/post).

ClientAuthenticationError

An error response with status code 4xx. This will not be raised directly by the Azure core pipeline.

ResourceModifiedError

An error response with status code 4xx, typically 412 Conflict. This will not be raised directly by the Azure core pipeline.

ResourceNotModifiedError

An error response with status code 304. This will not be raised directly by the Azure core pipeline.

TooManyRedirectsError

An error raised when the maximum number of redirect attempts is reached. The maximum amount of redirects can be configured in the RedirectPolicy.

class TooManyRedirectsError(HttpResponseError):
    def __init__(self, history, *args, **kwargs):
        self.history = history
        message = "Reached maximum redirect attempts."
        super(TooManyRedirectsError, self).__init__(message, *args, **kwargs)

history is used to document the requests/responses that resulted in redirected requests.

args are any additional args to be included with exception.

kwargs are keyword arguments to include with the exception.

Shared modules

MatchConditions

MatchConditions is an enum to describe match conditions.

class MatchConditions(Enum):
    Unconditionally = 1
    IfNotModified = 2
    IfModified = 3
    IfPresent = 4
    IfMissing = 5
