{"id":5576,"library":"azure-mgmt-datalake-nspkg","title":"Azure Data Lake Management Namespace Package","description":"The `azure-mgmt-datalake-nspkg` is an internal Microsoft Azure Data Lake Management namespace package. It serves as a placeholder to unify sub-packages under the `azure.mgmt.datalake` namespace, rather than providing direct functionality. Its current version is 3.0.1, and it's part of the broader Azure SDK for Python, which has a continuous release cadence.","status":"active","version":"3.0.1","language":"en","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python","tags":["azure","management","data lake","namespace","internal","azure-sdk"],"install":[{"cmd":"pip install azure-mgmt-datalake-nspkg","lang":"bash","label":"Install stable version"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"Its purpose is to define the `azure.mgmt.datalake` namespace for other related Azure Data Lake management client libraries.","symbol":"N/A","correct":"This is a namespace package and does not expose symbols for direct import or usage."}],"quickstart":{"code":"","lang":"python","description":"This package is a namespace package and does not provide any functionality or public APIs for direct use.
