Thanks for the feature suggestion. We don't have any timeline to share, but we are investigating the best way of adding this support.

I know this issue is old, but is there any update? The current (I think) docs at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-cosmos/azure.cosmos.documents.connectionpolicy?view=azure-python indicate there's still no support for ConnectionMode = direct

Any update? 🤔

Unfortunately no ETA for direct mode in Python at this time. I wrote up some thoughts about direct mode in the JS SDK repo which describes some of what makes it challenging: Azure/azure-sdk-for-js#4807 (comment)

Closing this issue as active development of our Python SDK has moved to https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python.
