Azure EventHub, unable to subscribe for Receiving

I try to receive messages from an Azure EventHub via Python, unfortunately I am not able to subscribe to it.

My script bases on https://gist.github.com/tomconte/e2a4667185a9bf674f59 and another similar issues was already asked in python script which subscribes/listens to Azure Event Hub?, unfortunately without solving it.

To my setup: Python 2.7.9 (Ubuntu 15.04)

Intstalled qpid-proton via pip:

pip show python-qpid-proton
...
Version: 0.11.1
...

So I am trying the following:

from proton import *
import urllib
key = urllib.quote(FOOBAR,"")
address = "amqps://name:" + key + "@nsname.servicebus.windows.net/eventhubname/ConsumerGroups/$Default/Partitions/0"
messenger = Messenger()
messenger.subscribe(address)

proton.MessengerException: Cannot subscribe to [ADDRESS]

name/key Should be OK since it works within another application.

Any guesses?

Another option is to use the latest azure-eventhub Python SDK to receive messages from Event Hub.

azure-eventhub is available on pypi: https://pypi.org/project/azure-eventhub/

you could follow the receive sample code to receive messages:

import os
from azure.eventhub import EventHubConsumerClient

CONNECTION_STR = os.environ["EVENT_HUB_CONN_STR"]
EVENTHUB_NAME = os.environ['EVENT_HUB_NAME']


def on_event(partition_context, event):
    # Put your code here.
    # If the operation is i/o intensive, multi-thread will have better performance.
    print("Received event from partition: {}.".format(partition_context.partition_id))


def on_partition_initialize(partition_context):
    # Put your code here.
    print("Partition: {} has been initialized.".format(partition_context.partition_id))


def on_partition_close(partition_context, reason):
    # Put your code here.
    print("Partition: {} has been closed, reason for closing: {}.".format(
        partition_context.partition_id,
        reason

def on_error(partition_context, error):
    # Put your code here. partition_context can be None in the on_error callback.
    if partition_context:
        print("An exception: {} occurred during receiving from Partition: {}.".format(
            partition_context.partition_id,
            error
        ))
    else:
        print("An exception: {} occurred during the load balance process.".format(error))

    try:
        with consumer_client:
            consumer_client.receive(
                on_event=on_event,

    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print('Stopped receiving.')

It looks like your key may contain "/" so you may want to go to azure portal and see if you can use the secondary key instead. You might have to create a new "shared access policy"
