Announcing the stable release of the Service Bus library for Python using a pure Python AMQP stack

#Announcement

The latest stable release of the Azure Service Bus library for Python now includes a new AMQP library written entirely in Python, removing the complexity of native interop. The library was designed to be a drop-in replacement with no breaking changes, making the transition to this new version seamless for projects already using it.

#Library Benefits

The Python-based library has improved stability, robustness, and maintenance, reducing any risks of C-related memory leaks or segmentation fault errors. The new library allows for full multi-platform support, including ARM processors, making it easier to contribute to the source code. The Service Bus library can now be integrated into a project like Home Assistant running on a Raspberry Pi.

#Get Started

To get started, install the Azure Service Bus client library within your Python environment, create a Service Bus namespace and queue, and then create the client and send a message to a queue. For more examples of how to use the library to send and receive events to/from Service Bus, see the GitHub samples directory or the Azure documentation samples.

We encourage you to use this new version and welcome your feedback! For feature requests, bug reports, or general support, open an issue in the Azure SDK for Python repository.
