Import azure.servicebus error in Python

Question

I'm using the module azure.servicebus.

from azure.servicebus import ServiceBusService , Message , Queue

When I use it in an external made script and run it, it works and gives no errors.

When I import the module in my init.py file and run the flask server. I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "__init__.py", line 35, in <module>

ImportError: No module named xmlreader

Can someone help to figure out how I can make it possible to be able to import the azure.servicebus module?

Thanks

ServiceBusService is deprecated in v7.0.0 https://pypi.org/project/azure-servicebus/7.0.0/

from azure.servicebus import ServiceBusClient, ServiceBusMessage

For people stumbling upon this question now having the same problem:

Azure SDK updates often does and has introduced breaking changes: 0.2 -> 0.5:

# From azure.servicebus import ServiceBusService <- This will now raise an ImportError
from azure.servicebus.control_client import ServiceBusService

0.5 -> 7.0.0

#from azure.servicebus import ServiceBusService <-- Now outdated
from azure.servicebus.management import ServiceBusAdministrationClient

This is however not enough: Make sure to check further API changes in this migration guide: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/master/sdk/servicebus/azure-servicebus/migration_guide.md

doesn't work : "ImportError: No module named control_client" May be they changed again. — naman1994, Oct 25 '19 at 05:45

There is a similar SO thread answered by me, which I think you can refer to, and try to solve the issue, please see Unable to use azure SDK in Python.

Meanwhile, per my experience, I suggest that you need to check whether the name conflict with xmlreader for python modules and scripts exists, please refer to the answer for the SO thread ImportError: cannot import name Session, when using Azure SDK.

Hope it helps. Any update, please feel free to let me know.
