Azure-sdk-for-python: Service Bus type Message doesn't have a method to get the payload

[epomatti]

How can I get the payload from a Message other than calling message.__str__()?

I've spent some time looking for it and I couldn't find any. It's just weird to call it that way. I tried body() method but it returns a complex object instead of the actual "body" by which I mean the payload.

Tutorials and examples also give the standard print(message).

Am I missing something?

Tried the reference too..

Thanks @epomatti - you can access the data using the body attribute you described. This field simply returns a generator.
Messages can contain multiple sections of data, which is why it's present this way. So you could interact with it multiple ways:

data = next(message.body)
data = list(message.body)[0]
