Description: # Python SDK for Azure Quantum #
        
        The `azure-quantum` package for Python provides functionality for interacting with Azure Quantum workspaces,
        including creating jobs, listing jobs, and retrieving job results.
        
        For details on how to get started with Azure Quantum, please visit https://azure.com/quantum.
        
        You can also try our [Quantum Computing Fundamentals](https://aka.ms/learnqc) learning path to get familiar with the basic concepts of quantum computing, build quantum programs, and identify the kind of problems that can be solved.
        
        ## Installing with pip ##
        
        ```bash
        pip install azure-quantum
        ```
        
        ## Development ##
        
        The best way to install all the Python pre-reqs packages is to create a new Conda environment.
        Run at the root of the `azure-quantum` directory:
        
        ```bash
        conda env create -f environment.yml -n azure-quantum
        ```
        
        Then to activate the environment:
        
        ```bash
        conda activate azure-quantum
        ```
        
        ### Install the local development package ###
        
        To install the package in development mode, run:
        
        ```bash
        pip install -e .
        ```
        
        ### Unit tests ###
        
        To run the unit tests, simply run `pytest` from the root of the `azure-quantum` directory:
        
        ```bash
        pytest
        ```
        
        To run the a specific unit test class, run:
        
        ```bash
        pytest ./tests/unit/test_job.py
        ```
        
        To run the a specific unit test case, run:
        
        ```bash
        pytest -k test_job_refresh
        ```
        
        ## Building the `azure-quantum` Package ##
        
        The Azure Quantum Python SDK uses a standard `setuptools`-based packaging strategy.
        To build a platform-independent wheel, run the setup script with `bdist_wheel` instead:
        
        ```bash
        cd src/Python/
        python setup.py bdist_wheel
        ```
        
        By default, this will create a `azure-quantum` wheel in `dist/` with the version number set to 0.0.0.1.
        To provide a more useful version number, set the `PYTHON_VERSION` environment variable before running `setup.py`.
