Python 2.7.10 Mac OS X 10.10 - binascii.Error TypeError: Incorrect padding about azure-storage-python

You don't need to base64 encode the key -- just pass in directly what you got from the portal or wherever else you got the key from. I know you said you've copied correctly, but two things to confirm right off the bat since they're common errors:

1. Does the key you're passing have whitespace around it? If so, make sure you remove that.
2. Many keys have = signs in them or end in that character. If your key ends in symbols, they are indeed part of the key and should be included.

Tell me either way and if these aren't the issues we'll keep debugging!

I created a completely clean Python 2.7 virtualenv and reloaded the Azure SDK and Azure storage modules. All works ok now.
