Hi,
I simply try to create a queue with the python sdk in python3.4 but with this code:
from azure.storage import QueueService
q = QueueService("user", "password")
q.create_queue('testqueue')
I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "new.py", line 4, in <module>
q.create_queue('testqueue')

The thing is that I'm trying to create a linux auto-scaling farm of ubuntu VMs with a single queue. when this queue contains more than x message, the farm scales up and instead of using 1 VM, it uses 2 or 3.
I already have my VMs , I configured the availability set, the load-balancing but I'm stopped on queues.
It somebody could help, it would be great!
Thanks

hi sir,
Thanks for your posting!
Would you try to follow this official document to create queue:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-python-how-to-use-queue-storage/#create-queue
If not, please try it.

Will
