  • PowerShell, Python, or both?
    1 project | /r/sysadmin | 29 Sep 2022
    it depends, if you want script microsoft stuff like active directory powershell is the way to go, if you have to manage microsoft cloud stuff like exchange online or azure ad powershell is still probably better but you can also use python with graph api and if you need to write a more complex script python might be easier
  • SharePoint API with Certificate Auth using Python failing

  • Accessing SharePoint Online
    2 projects | /r/learnpython | 15 Dec 2021
    Or not.. I started checking for SharePoint libraries in Python, and this is pretty much the only thing I could find: https://github.com/vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client. Which I guess it is fine, if it wasn't because it seems as if 2 of the authentication methods they support are kind of old, and the third one does not suit my company's security requirements (basically, anything that requires me to bypass conditional access won't be approved).
  • O365 Python library vs directly using Graph API for enterprise RPA?
    3 projects | /r/microsoft | 14 Sep 2021
    Interesting, would the SDK be an equivalent to, for example, the Office365-REST-Python-Client, except that it is being provided by Microsoft officially?
    2 projects | /r/learnpython | 14 Sep 2021
    If Microsoft were to provide an official Python library, I would feel pretty safe and they don't seem to shy away from integration with Python, but I don't know how to narrow it down looking at their different examples. Other options developed by outside sources seem to be stuff like the Office365-REST-Python-Client, Microsoft Graph Core Python Client, etc. Is there any particular recommendation on a stable and easy-to-use library?
  • Uploading files to sharepoint
