Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) for Python gives your app the ability to begin using the Microsoft Cloud by supporting Microsoft Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Accounts in a converged experience using industry standard OAuth2 and OpenID Connect. The library will also support Azure AD B2C.

MSAL Python aims to be the most convenient way to help achieving the goals outlined above. In order to help more app developers, our work on this library will be from three areas:

• Roadmap:

• Feature parity with ADAL Python, including token acquisition and token cache (but with different API and format).
• Planned milestones, sorted roughly in release order
• Feature requests in Github, sorted by thumbs-up

• Samples for onboarding: Onboarding has been a frequent request when we are maintaining similar SDKs. We hear you!

• Let every currently-supported usage scenarios be covered by a sample. (There may be more usage scenarios that this library does not currently support, though.)
• Provide API reference documentation. The documented APIs are official public interface maintained with Semantic Versioning approach. Other undocumented internal helpers are subject to change without ahead notice.

• On-demand Release: We do not have a specific release cadence. We do on-demand release often, so that you don't need to wait long for a bugfix. Try it by sending us bug reports. :-)
