 ### Prerequisites

 The client libraries are supported on Python 2.7 and 3.5.3 or later.
 
 ## Packages available

 Each service might have a number of libraries available from each of the following categories:
 * [Client - November 2019 Releases](#Client-November-2019-Releases)
 * [Client - Previous Versions](#Client-Previous-Versions)
 * [Management](#Management)

 ### Client: November 2019 Releases
+
 New wave of packages that we are announcing as **GA** and several that are currently releasing in **preview**. These libraries allow you to use and consume existing resources and interact with them, for example: upload a blob. These libraries share a number of core functionalities such as: retries, logging, transport protocols, authentication protocols, etc. that can be found in the [azure-core](./sdk/core/azure-core) library. You can learn more about these libraries by reading guidelines that they follow [here](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/python_introduction.html).

 ### Client: Previous Versions
+
 Last stable versions of packages that have been provided for usage with Azure and are production-ready. These libraries provide you with similar functionalities to the Preview ones as they allow you to use and consume existing resources and interact with them, for example: upload a blob. They might not implement the [guidelines](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/python_introduction.html) or have the same feature set as the Novemeber releases. They do however offer wider coverage of services.
 
 ### Management
+
 Libraries which enable you to provision specific resources. They are responsible for directly mirroring and consuming Azure service's REST endpoints. The management libraries use the `azure-mgmt-<service name>` convention for their package names.
