Answer 1

You can setup your project to work with the Azure Blob Storage client library v12 for Python by following this link.

Use the below code to download from storage account using python:

   import os, uuid
    from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient, BlobClient, ContainerClient, __version__

try:
    print("Azure Blob Storage v" + __version__ + " - Python quickstart sample")

 # Download the blob to a local file
 # Add 'DOWNLOAD' before the .txt extension so you can see both files in the data directory
 
download_file_path = os.path.join(local_path, str.replace(local_file_name ,'.txt', 'DOWNLOAD.txt'))
print("\nDownloading blob to \n\t" + download_file_path)

with open(download_file_path, "wb") as download_file:
    download_file.write(blob_client.download_blob().readall())

except Exception as ex:
    print('Exception:')
    print(ex)
