Finding Azure Batch Python client in Conda packaging
I also have hit a snag trying to prep up an old macbook.
I've got condanavigator, and thought I could add the microsoft channel then select some options to configure a python environment suitable for CLI and powershell access through to automate or at least, explore and interact with features of services within a trial Azure environment - particularly Purview. I thought, breeze in, tick some boxes, get started. Nope!
Adding the environment was easy enough, but then when I ticked azure, & azure storage, I hit snags. no doubt easy to resolve, but they do suggest there is more to the use of Azure in Conda with Python support than it seems. As per below:
LibMambaUnsatisfiableError: Encountered problems while solving:
- package azure-1.0.2-py27_1 requires python >=2.7,<2.8.0a0, but none of the providers can be installed
Could not solve for environment specs
The following packages are incompatible
├─ azure is installable with the potential options
│ ├─ azure 1.0.2 would require
│ │ └─ python >=2.7,<2.8.0a0 , which can be installed;
│ ├─ azure 1.0.2 would require
│ │ └─ python >=3.5,<3.6.0a0 , which can be installed;
│ └─ azure 1.0.2 would require
│ └─ python >=3.6,<3.7.0a0 , which can be installed;
└─ pin-1 is not installable because it requires
└─ python 3.12.* , which conflicts with any installable versions previously reported.
Pins seem to be involved in the conflict. Currently pinned specs:
- python 3.12.* (labeled as 'pin-1')
Edit: tidy
- Oh, forgot to mention: This seems to be the authoritative page. I guess the word 'preview' is the one to keep in mind.
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/azure-sdk/python-conda-sdk-preview/- I removed the Microsoft channel, then ticked three azure environment items from the built-in base (root) environment, and received the same errors.

Pins seem to be involved in the conflict. Currently pinned specs:
- python 3.12.* (labeled as 'pin-1')- Re-adding or removing the Microsoft channel doesn't change the number of installed or installable applications.
So I guess what's missing is for someone at Microsoft who intimately knows the different components (environment options that work the Python-Conda-SDK, if in preview or not), to create a microsoft azure conda exploration application, one that you can use to begin to explore the SDK - that eg. I could start up, to then install & run the CLI or the Powershell found here:
It looks like the sequence goes...
Developer agreement (no, I don't agree, but tick box anyway) Xcode, CLT, Bash, Homebrew,
then Azure-CLI - hmmm, but that's not the python/conda constrained environment - though I guess it might work within that.
I assume it's faster to go Powershell Gallery on MacOS, then az-powershell, then use cmdlets, but that's a different thing altogether.
It's all a bit of a mess, like untangling spaghetti, but where you can only try to untangle it with your face while your eyes are closed. 🙂
