Install Azure Python Api On Linux: ImportError: No Module Named Storage.blob

I'm trying to use the Azure Python API. I followed these installation instructions https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/python-how-to-install/ using pip install

Solution 1:

If you only need azure-storage you should be able to install just that package. If you need storage and other aspects of Azure, then you can just install azure and that will grab everything including storage. No need for both installs.

Particularly if you had an older version of Azure installed before there can be issues with how the dependencies link up. Give pip uninstall azure and pip uninstall azure-storage a try and if you're feeling particularly thorough delete anything prefixed with azure in your python lib folder. Then install just what you need per the first paragraph.
