Not to discount anything Kurt as already suggested
But I'd just like to throw in a couple of things that come to mind=2E
You can think of this as a short learning curve, or the highway to hell=2E
You decide=2E

1) With a brand new port; I have often found it makes it quicker to find a
already existing port that closely resembles the one I'm attempting to crea=
te,
and either gut it, or simply replace the parts required=2E

2) Given it's the Python Azure SDK=2E I'd probably go with the following loca=
tion:
https://github=2Ecom/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python
The opening page nearly creates the port for you=2E :)
