* python: replace pre-commit with prek, add PEP 723 script deps, clean up dev dependencies - Replace pre-commit with prek (Rust-native, faster pre-commit alternative) - Move supported hooks to repo: builtin for zero-clone speed - Add new builtin hooks: trailing-whitespace, check-merge-conflict, detect-private-key, check-added-large-files - Update all hook versions to latest (pre-commit-hooks v6, pyupgrade v3.21.2, bandit 1.9.3, uv-pre-commit 0.10.0) - Add PEP 723 inline script metadata to 34 samples with external deps - Remove autogen-agentchat/autogen-ext from dev deps (now declared per-sample) - Remove unused dev deps: pytest-env, tomli-w - Add agent-framework-core>=1.0.0b260130 lower bound to all 21 packages - Update CI workflow to use j178/prek-action - Update docs: DEV_SETUP.md, AGENTS.md, CODING_STANDARD.md, SAMPLE_GUIDELINES.md * updated lock * python: fix prek config paths for local execution and CI workflow Remove global 'files: ^python/' filter and strip python/ prefix from all path patterns in .pre-commit-config.yaml so prek finds files when run from the python/ directory. Update CI workflow to use --cd python instead of --config path. Include trailing whitespace fixes and dev dependency cleanup. * python: move helper scripts to scripts/ folder and exclude from checks * python: exclude AGENTS.md from prek markdown code lint * python: exclude AGENTS.md and azure_ai_search sample from markdown lint * fix m365 sample * python: ignore CPY rule for samples with PEP 723 headers * fix in dev_setup * python: replace aiofiles with regular open in samples * python: suppress reportUnusedImport in markdown code block checker * python: use samples pyright config for markdown code block checker Write a temp pyrightconfig.json matching pyrightconfig.samples.json rules (typeCheckingMode=off, only reportMissingImports and reportAttributeAccessIssue). Filter output to only fail on these rules since syntax-level errors (top-level await, undefined vars) are expected in README documentation snippets. * python: use markdown-code-lint with fixed globs instead of prek file list The prek-markdown-code-lint task received all changed files including non-README markdown and files with pre-existing broken imports. Replace with the standard markdown-code-lint task which uses the correct glob patterns (README.md, packages/**/README.md, samples/**/*.md). * python: exclude READMEs with pre-existing broken imports from markdown lint * python: fix broken README code snippets instead of excluding them - ag-ui: replace TextContent (removed) with content.type == 'text' - durabletask: fix import path to durabletask.worker.TaskHubGrpcWorker - orchestrations: use constructor params instead of .participants() method - observability: mark deprecated code blocks as plain text, filter reportMissingImports to agent_framework modules only - remove README excludes from markdown-code-lint task * add revision to gaia download * feat(python): parallelize checks across packages Run (package × task) cross-product in parallel using ThreadPoolExecutor and subprocesses. Key changes: - Add scripts/task_runner.py with shared parallel execution engine - Update run_tasks_in_packages_if_exists.py to accept multiple tasks - Update run_tasks_in_changed_packages.py with --files flag and parallel support - Add check-packages poe task (fmt+lint+pyright+mypy in parallel) - Add prek-markdown-code-lint and prek-samples-check with change detection - Split CI code quality workflow into parallel prek and mypy jobs - Update DEV_SETUP.md to document new parallel behavior Core package changes still trigger checks on all packages. * feat(ci): split code quality into 4 parallel jobs Split the single prek job into parallel jobs: - pre-commit-hooks: lightweight hooks (SKIP=poe-check) - package-checks: fmt/lint/pyright/mypy via check-packages - samples-markdown: samples-lint, samples-syntax, markdown-code-lint - mypy: change-detected mypy checks All 4 jobs run concurrently (×2 Python versions = 8 runners). * feat(ci): use only Python 3.10 for code quality checks * refactor(python): add future annotations and remove quoted types Add `from __future__ import annotations` to 93 package files that used quoted string annotations, then run pyupgrade --py310-plus to remove the now-unnecessary quotes.

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
- Python 3.11+
- uv for fast dependency management
- devtunnel
- Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit for playground/testing
- Access to OpenAI or Azure OpenAI with a model like
gpt-4o-mini
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
-
Install (if not already):
winget install agentsplayground -
Start the Python agent locally:
python m365_agent_demo/app.py -
Start the playground:
agentsplayground -
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.
-
Create an Azure Bot (choose Client Secret auth for local tunneling).
-
Create a
.envfile 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 -
Host dev tunnel:
devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous -
Set the bot Messaging endpoint to:
https://<tunnel-host>/api/messages -
Run your local agent:
python m365_agent_demo/app.py -
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.
