Python: how to move or copy Azure Blob from one container to another

Question

I am using the Microsoft Azure SDK for Python in a project. I want to move or copy blob from one container to another. for example

https://demostorage.blob.core.windows.net/image-container/pretty.jpg

I want to move this blob to

https://demostorage.blob.core.windows.net/demo-container/

I found the following method in the Python SDK, but couldn't figure it out.

def copy_blob(self, container_name, blob_name,...):

How can i do this? thanks

I did that way.

from azure.storage.blob import BlobService

def copy_azure_files(self):

        blob_service = BlobService(account_name='account_name', account_key='account_key')
        blob_name = 'pretty.jpg'
        copy_from_container = 'image-container'
        copy_to_container = 'demo-container'

        blob_url = blob_service.make_blob_url(copy_from_container, blob_name)
        # blob_url:https://demostorage.blob.core.windows.net/image-container/pretty.jpg

        blob_service.copy_blob(copy_to_container, blob_name, blob_url)

        #for move the file use this line
        blob_service.delete_blob(copy_from_container, blob_name)

I haven't found any blob moving method yet. So I used the copy method and then executed the Blob function.

This is my decision. If you have a better way to handle all this, please share with me.

Azure Blob Storage SDK.

from azure.storage.blob import BlockBlobService

account_name = "demostorage"
account_key = "lkjASDRwelriJfou3lkjksdfjLj349u9LJfasdjfs/dlkjfjLKSjdfi8ulksjdfAlkjsdfkL762FDSDFSDAfju==" 

source_container_name = "image-container"
source_file_path = "pretty.jpg"

target_container_name = "demo-container"
target_file_path = "pretty_copy.jpg"

service = BlockBlobService(account_name, account_key)

service.copy_blob(
    target_container_name, 
    target_file_path, 
    f"https://{account_name}.blob.core.windows.net/{source_container_name}/{source_file_path}",
)
