Azure-docs: Syntax error in code snippet (and issues running)

[ArvidBaa]

Under the section Get an existing datastore, there is a code snippet that looks like this:

datastores = ws.datastores()
for name, ds in datastores.items(),
    print(name, ds.datastore_type)"

which raises syntax error due to the ending comma (,) in the second row (should be colon (:)) and also the trailing quotation mark (") on the third row.

But even if I correct this, I can't get the code to run. I only get the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-45-4c937c1deb4c> in <module>()
      1 datastores = ws.datastores()
----> 2 for name, ds in datastores.items():
      3     print(name, ds.datastore_type)

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items'

Hi @ArvidBaa Once the typos are fixed, you should be able to run the code successfully. Please make sure you are using the latest version of the aml sdk. You should update to 0.1.65 if you havent: https://pypi.org/project/azureml-core/

[ArvidBaa]

Yes, after upgrading to the latest version, I can confirm that the code can be run successfully after the typos are fixed.

Thank you for your help!
