AttributeError: 'BlockBlobService' object has no attribute 'create_block_blob_from_path'

Question

Accocrding this manual I shoud use thise pice of code:

from azure.storage.blob import ContentSettings
block_blob_service.create_block_blob_from_path(
    'mycontainer',
    'myblockblob',
    'sunset.png',
    content_settings=ContentSettings(content_type='image/png')
            )

But got this error:

AttributeError: 'BlockBlobService' object has no attribute 'create_block_blob_from_path'

Tried from git, as well as from pip

pip install azure-storage

Where are you creating `block_blob_service` in your code? – Gaurav Mantri Feb 26 '16 at 14:10 — Gaurav Mantri, Feb 26 '16 at 14:10

I believe the tutorial is out of date, compared with the latest Python SDK. I don't think there's a create_block_blob_from_path anymore - I looked at the sdk code (here). There are separate imports for block blobs and page blobs, with the method being create_blob_from_path.

So with a simple correction:

from azure.storage.blob import BlockBlobService
from azure.storage.file import ContentSettings
blob_service = BlockBlobService(account_name="<storagename>",account_key="<storagekey>")

content_settings = ContentSettings(content_type = "image/png")
blob_service.create_blob_from_path("mycontainer","myblockblob","sunset.png",content_settings)

any update for how this is done with the newest update 24 days ago? — M. Smith, May 20 '16 at 19:53
