Azure Storage SDK for Python.

Installation:

You can use pip to install the latest released version of azure-storage:

pip install azure-storage

If you want to install azure-storage from source:

git clone git://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-python.git
cd azure-storage-python
python setup.py install

On Windows, you need to build the cffi and cryptography dependencies natively. See the documentation for those modules, or install from wheel: cffi 1.10.0, cryptography 1.5 (both links are for Python 3.4 in 32-bit environments, the default in Azure Web Apps). On Azure Web Apps, you also need to change the cp34m portion of the wheel file name to none.
