Number of messages still in azure servicebus queue

I am trying to get the number of messages still in the ServiceBus queue in Python.

I am able to receive messages but I can only find documentation to get the message count via the portal, CLI, or powershell, but not for the python SDK. Is there such a function or property?

from azure.servicebus import ServiceBusClient


with ServiceBusClient.from_connection_string(CONNECTION_STRING) as client:

with client.get_queue_receiver(QUEUE_NAME, max_wait_time=30) as receiver:

    msgs = receiver.receive_messages(2)
    for msg in msgs:
        receiver.complete_message(msg)
    number_of_retrieved_messages = len(msgs)

    number_of_messages_still_in_queue = ?

Looking through the code of the Python SDK (the Azure Service Bus client library for Python), it appears that there's a ServiceBusAdministrationClient that has a get_queue_runtime_properties method.

queue_runtime_properties = await servicebus_mgmt_client.get_queue_runtime_properties(QUEUE_NAME)`
print("Message Count:", queue_runtime_properties.total_message_count)

Example found in async_samples/mgmt_queue_async.py
Implementation found in management/_management_client.py
