BREAKING CHANGES:

None.

FEATURES:

None.

FIXES:

  • Prevent messing up azure namespace on upgrade in environments with other azure packages.

More Info:

Old Kusto (<0.0.25) packaging (as documented by azure-sdk-for-python) included azure/__init__.py file which was the root of azure namespace and used pkg-resource to declare the namespace.
After installation, Kusto's dist-info/RECORD included azure/__init__.py which caused it to be deleted once you upgrade (as upgrade is essentially uninstall + install newer).
New setup excludes azure/__init__.py from packaging, because we declare a dependency on azure-nspkg which is the owner of the azure name space and is responsible for the site-packages dir.
Because azure-nspkg is already installed, it's skipped, but the azure/__init__.py file is deleted (because it was present in the old dist-info/RECORD).
There is a setup.py property called namespace_packages which is meant to be used with pkg-resource but, when specified, installing with it, prevents the removal of the namespace.
