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- One superseded minimal_sample.py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

These are common instructions for setting up your environment for every sample in this directory. These samples illustrate the Durable extensibility for Agent Framework running in Azure Functions.

All of these samples are set up to run in Azure Functions. Azure Functions has a local development tool called CoreTools which we will set up to run these samples locally.

Environment Setup

1. Install dependencies and create appropriate services

2. Create and activate a virtual environment

Windows (PowerShell):

python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

Linux/macOS:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

3. Running the samples

  • Start the Azurite emulator

  • Inside each sample:

    • Install Python dependencies from the sample directory, run pip install -r requirements.txt (or the equivalent in your active virtual environment).

    • Copy local.settings.json.template to local.settings.json, then update AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT and AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME for Azure OpenAI authentication. The samples use AzureCliCredential by default, so ensure you're logged in via az login.

      • Alternatively, you can use API key authentication by setting AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY and updating the code to use AzureOpenAIChatClient() without the credential parameter.
      • Keep TASKHUB_NAME set to default unless you plan to change the durable task hub name.
    • Run the command func start from the root of the sample

    • Follow each sample's README for scenario-specific steps, and use its demo.http file (or provided curl examples) to trigger the hosted HTTP endpoints.
