Queue Storage — Python SDK Quick Reference

Condensed from azure-storage-queue-py. Full patterns (async client, base64 encoding, queue properties, message updates) in the azure-storage-queue-py plugin skill if installed.

Install

pip install azure-storage-queue azure-identity

Quick Start

Auth: DefaultAzureCredential is for local development. See auth-best-practices.md for production patterns.

from azure.storage.queue import QueueClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
queue_client = QueueClient("https://<account>.queue.core.windows.net", "myqueue", DefaultAzureCredential())

Best Practices

Delete messages after processing to prevent reprocessing
Set appropriate visibility timeout based on processing time
Handle dequeue_count for poison message detection
Use async client for high-throughput scenarios
Use peek_messages for monitoring without affecting queue
Set time_to_live to prevent stale messages
Consider Service Bus for advanced features (sessions, topics)
