-    - Python 3.7
-    - azure-eventhub 5.2.0
-    - azure-storage-blob 12.6.0

 - An Azure subscription. If you don't have one, [create a free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/) before you begin.  
 - An active Event Hubs namespace and event hub.
 [Create an Event Hubs namespace and an event hub in the namespace](event-hubs-create.md). Record the name of the Event Hubs namespace, the name of the event hub, and the primary access key for the namespace. To get the access key, see [Get an Event Hubs connection string](event-hubs-get-connection-string.md#azure-portal). The default key name is *RootManageSharedAccessKey*. For this quickstart, you need only the primary key. You don't need the connection string.

 To complete this quickstart, you need the following prerequisites:
 
 - **Microsoft Azure subscription**. To use Azure services, including Azure Event Hubs, you need a subscription. If you don't have an existing Azure account, sign up for a [free trial](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/).
-- Python 3.7 or later, with pip installed and updated.
+- Python 3.8 or later, with pip installed and updated.
 - Visual Studio Code (recommended) or any other integrated development environment (IDE). 
 - **Create an Event Hubs namespace and an event hub**. The first step is to use the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com) to create an Event Hubs namespace, and obtain the management credentials that your application needs to communicate with the event hub. To create a namespace and an event hub, follow the procedure in [this article](event-hubs-create.md).
