Update .github config files for Python (dependabot, copilot-instructions, templates, CONTRIBUTING)

[daviburg]

Problem

The .github/ configuration files were copied from the .NET SDK repo and reference C#/.NET tooling throughout:

File	Problem
copilot-instructions.md	C# coding conventions (this. qualification, Allman braces, file-scoped namespaces)
dependabot.yml	Configured for nuget package ecosystem instead of pip
pull_request_template.md	References dotnet test and Generated/ C# files
ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml	Label says "Azure Connectors .NET SDK", asks for ".NET version"
CONTRIBUTING.md	Prerequisites list .NET 8.0 SDK, build/test commands use dotnet CLI

What needs to change

copilot-instructions.md — Python coding conventions

Replace C# conventions with Python equivalents:

C# convention	Python equivalent
this. instance qualification	self. (automatic in Python)
_camelCase private fields	_snake_case private attributes
PascalCase methods	snake_case methods, PascalCase classes
ConfigureAwait(false)	N/A (Python asyncio doesn't need this)
StringComparison parameter	N/A
Allman braces	PEP 8 indentation
File-scoped namespaces	Module-level organization
XML doc comments	Google/NumPy docstrings
var for obvious types	Type hints (PEP 484)

Add Python-specific rules:

• Use async/await for all I/O operations
• Type hints on all public API signatures
• snake_case for functions/methods, PascalCase for classes
• __all__ exports in __init__.py
• Context managers for client lifecycle (async with)

dependabot.yml — Switch to pip ecosystem

`yaml
version: 2
updates:

• package-ecosystem: "pip"
  directory: "/src"
  schedule:
  interval: "weekly"
  target-branch: "main"
  groups:
  minor-and-patch:
  update-types: ["minor", "patch"]

• package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
  directory: "/"
  schedule:
  interval: "weekly"
  target-branch: "main"
  groups:
  minor-and-patch:
  update-types: ["minor", "patch"]
  `

pull_request_template.md — Update for Python

• Replace dotnet test references with pytest
• Replace Generated/*.cs with generated Python client files
• Update checklist items for Python conventions

ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml — Fix labels and fields

• Change label from "Azure Connectors .NET SDK" to "Azure Connectors Python SDK"
• Replace ".NET version" field with "Python version"
• Replace "SDK version" NuGet reference with PyPI/pip reference

CONTRIBUTING.md — Python prerequisites and workflow

• Prerequisites: Python 3.10+, Git (remove .NET 8.0 SDK)
• Build: pip install -e ".[dev]" (remove dotnet restore/build)
• Test: pytest (remove dotnet test)
• Code style: Reference Python copilot-instructions.md
• Keep CLA, Code of Conduct, PR guidelines (generic sections)

Reference

• .NET SDK .github/: https://github.com/Azure/Connectors-NET-SDK/tree/main/.github

Acceptance criteria

• copilot-instructions.md documents Python conventions (PEP 8, type hints, async patterns)
• dependabot.yml uses pip ecosystem pointing to /src
• pull_request_template.md references pytest and Python files
• bug_report.yml asks for Python version, not .NET version
• CONTRIBUTING.md has Python prerequisites and commands
