Eduard van Valkenburg a2856d3b92 Python: restructure: Python samples into progressive 01-05 layout (#3862)
* restructure: Python samples into progressive 01-05 layout

- 01-get-started/: 6 numbered steps (hello agent → hosting)
- 02-agents/: all agent concept samples (tools, middleware, providers, etc.)
- 03-workflows/: ALL existing workflow samples preserved as-is
- 04-hosting/: azure-functions, durabletask, a2a
- 05-end-to-end/: demos, evaluation, hosted agents
- Old files moved to _to_delete/ for review
- Added AGENTS.md with structure documentation
- autogen-migration/ and semantic-kernel-migration/ preserved at root

* fix: switch to AzureOpenAI Foundry, fix CI failures

- Switch all 01-get-started samples to AzureOpenAIResponsesClient with
  Azure AI Foundry project endpoint (AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT +
  AZURE_OPENAI_RESPONSES_DEPLOYMENT_NAME + AzureCliCredential)
- Add _to_delete/ and 05-end-to-end/ to pyrightconfig.samples.json excludes
- Fix test paths in packages/ that referenced old getting_started/ dirs:
  durabletask conftest + streaming test, azurefunctions conftest,
  devui conftest + capture_messages + openai_sdk_integration
- Fix workflow_as_agent_human_in_the_loop.py import (sibling import)
- Update hosting READMEs and tool comment paths
- Replace root README.md with new structure overview
- Update AGENTS.md to document Azure OpenAI Foundry as default provider

* cleanup: remove _to_delete folder, copy resource files to active dirs

All files in _to_delete/ were either:
- Exact duplicates of files in the new structure (240 files)
- Same file with only comment path updates (100 files)
- One import-fix diff (workflow_as_agent_human_in_the_loop.py)
- One superseded minimal_sample.py

Resource files (sample.pdf, countries.json, employees.pdf, weather.json)
copied to 02-agents/sample_assets/ and 02-agents/resources/ since active
samples reference them.

* fix: address PR review comments, centralize resources, remove root duplicates

- Fix type annotation in 04_memory.py (string union -> proper types)
- Fix old sample paths in observability files
- Fix grammar/spelling in observability samples
- Move sample_assets/ and resources/ to shared/ folder
- Remove 8 duplicate observability files from 02-agents root
- Update resource path references in multimodal_input and provider samples

* fix: update broken links from old getting_started paths to new structure

- Update relative paths in READMEs: getting_started/ → 01-get-started/,
  02-agents/, 03-workflows/, 04-hosting/, 05-end-to-end/
- Fix absolute GitHub URLs in package READMEs
- Fix broken link in ollama package README

* fix: convert absolute GitHub URLs to relative paths for link checker

Absolute URLs to python/samples/ on main branch 404 until PR merges.
Converted to relative paths that linkspector can verify locally.

* fix: update link for handoff sample moved to orchestrations/

* fix: update chatkit-integration README path from demos/ to 05-end-to-end/

* fix: update broken links in orchestrations README to match flat directory structure

Microsoft Agent Framework Python Weather Agent sample (M365 Agents SDK)

This sample demonstrates a simple Weather Forecast Agent built with the Python Microsoft Agent Framework, exposed through the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK compatible endpoints. The agent accepts natural language requests for a weather forecast and responds with a textual answer. It supports multi-turn conversations to gather required information.

Prerequisites

Configuration

Set the following environment variables:

# Common
export PORT=3978
export USE_ANONYMOUS_MODE=True # set to false if using auth

# OpenAI
export OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
export OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL_ID="..."

Installing Dependencies

From the repository root or the sample folder:

uv sync

Running the Agent Locally

# Activate environment first if not already
source .venv/bin/activate   # (Windows PowerShell: .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1)

# Run the weather agent demo
python m365_agent_demo/app.py

The agent starts on http://localhost:3978. Health check: GET /api/health.

QuickStart using Agents Playground

  1. Install (if not already):

    winget install agentsplayground
    
  2. Start the Python agent locally: python m365_agent_demo/app.py

  3. Start the playground: agentsplayground

  4. Chat with the Weather Agent.

QuickStart using WebChat (Azure Bot)

To test via WebChat you can provision an Azure Bot and point its messaging endpoint to your agent.

  1. Create an Azure Bot (choose Client Secret auth for local tunneling).

  2. Create a .env file in this sample folder with the following (replace placeholders):

    # Authentication / Agentic configuration
    USE_ANONYMOUS_MODE=False
    CONNECTIONS__SERVICE_CONNECTION__SETTINGS__CLIENTID="<client-id>"
    CONNECTIONS__SERVICE_CONNECTION__SETTINGS__CLIENTSECRET="<client-secret>"
    CONNECTIONS__SERVICE_CONNECTION__SETTINGS__TENANTID="<tenant-id>"
    CONNECTIONS__SERVICE_CONNECTION__SETTINGS__SCOPES=https://graph.microsoft.com/.default
    
    AGENTAPPLICATION__USERAUTHORIZATION__HANDLERS__AGENTIC__SETTINGS__TYPE=AgenticUserAuthorization
    AGENTAPPLICATION__USERAUTHORIZATION__HANDLERS__AGENTIC__SETTINGS__SCOPES=https://graph.microsoft.com/.default
    AGENTAPPLICATION__USERAUTHORIZATION__HANDLERS__AGENTIC__SETTINGS__ALTERNATEBLUEPRINTCONNECTIONNAME=https://graph.microsoft.com/.default
    
  3. Host dev tunnel:

    devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous
    
  4. Set the bot Messaging endpoint to: https://<tunnel-host>/api/messages

  5. Run your local agent: python m365_agent_demo/app.py

  6. Use "Test in WebChat" in Azure Portal.

Federated Credentials or Managed Identity auth types typically require deployment to Azure App Service instead of tunneling.

Troubleshooting

  • 404 on /api/messages: Ensure you are POSTing and using the correct tunnel URL.
  • Empty responses: Check model key / quota and ensure environment variables are set.
  • Auth errors when anonymous disabled: Validate MSAL config matches your Azure Bot registration.
