What problem was encountered?

I am trying to create a container using python in azure storage account. Please find the code used below. When I run the function to create a container for the first time, it gives me the error

AzureMissingResourceHttpError: The specified container does not exist. ErrorCode: ContainerNotFound <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>ContainerNotFoundThe specified container does not exist. RequestId:af0ea53c-401e-00f6-75b2-ff7c72000000 Time:2019-05-01T00:10:59.2735485Z

But when I run the same jupyter notebook cell for the second time it creates the container successfully.

Code Used to create container:

` def export_to_blob(p_df, container_name = None, relative_path = None, overwrite = True, show_progress = True, account_name = None, account_key = None):

    block_blob_service = BlockBlobService(account_name = account_name, account_key = account_key)
    container_name = container_name
    block_blob_service.create_container(container_name)
    block_blob_service.set_container_acl(container_name, public_access=PublicAccess.Container)`

create_container_error_11 create_container_error_2

I am able to reproduce the error by deleting the container created and running the jupyter cell again.

Please let me know if any further details is required.
