How to install azure.storage.blob library for python?

Question

I have issues while importing BlobServiceClient and BlobClient from azure.storage.blob library. I understood that my issue was related whith a conflict on versions. I am able to install the library with pip but then I have the first issue shown (1/). And when I try to install the library with conda (to manage the versions) I have the second error (2/).

Notes : A) I tried to install/uninstall the library as mentionned in the other questions. B) I tried to change the python version, I tested python 3.7, python 3.8 and python 3.10 without any success.

Thank you very much for your help !

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be incompatible with the existing python installation in your environment:

Specifications:

• azure -> python[version='>=2.7,<2.8.0a0|>=3.5,<3.6.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0']

Your python: python=3.7

If python is on the left-most side of the chain, that's the version you've asked for. When python appears to the right, that indicates that the thing on the left is somehow not available for the python version you are constrained to. Note that conda will not change your python version to a different minor version unless you explicitly specify that.

Answer 1

Specifications: • azure -> python[version='>=2.7,<2.8.0a0|>=3.5,<3.6.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0'] Your python: python=3.7

As clearly mentioned in the above error, Python version should be less than 3.7

Please try Python version 3.6 or 3.5 or 2.8 or 2.7
