Description
Python 3.12 has been released on 2023-10-02: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3120/
Azure CLI needs to support Python 3.12 like how we supported 3.10 (#19857), 3.11 (#24494).

Hi @chenrui333
Find similar issue #19857.

Possible solution:
As we did for Python 3.10 and 3.11, Azure CLI needs to support Python 3.12. We can follow the same steps we did for Python 3.10 support, which includes updating dependencies like pytest, pylint, and ensuring all test cases pass. Additionally, we need to make sure that Knack and azdev also support Python 3.12. We can refer to the pull requests for Knack and azdev that added support for Python 3.10 and update them accordingly for Python 3.12. Once we have updated the dependencies and ensured that all test cases pass, we can release a new version of Azure CLI that supports Python 3.12.
Please confirm if this resolves your issue.
Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.
I find there is no open issue to support py3.12, create this one for the team.
Any progress on this and will this impact App Service Python 3.12 availability?
Could be this the explanation why installing azure-cli with Python 3.12 throw this error complining about pymsalruntime?
building 'pymsalruntime.pymsalruntime' extension
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
[end of output]
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Indeed it seems like the dependency of pymsalruntime means that azure-cli is not compatible with Python 3.12. The dependancy chain seems to be:
pymsalruntime<0.14,>=0.13.2 (from msal[broker]==1.24.0b2->azure-cli-core==2.53.1->azure-cli->az-cli)
The pymsalruntime library seems to use the deprecated and removed functions PyUnicode_AsUnicode and PyUnicode_FromUnicode, which means that the library cannot be built on the latest python.
Fedora 39 was just released, and it's containing Python 3.12. It is a huge blocker now for all Fedora users, as it's not possible to run Azure CLI "as is" without any additional hassle (running it in a container or with older version of python).

Do we have an ETA for this? This is blocking our customers who are using python 3.12 from using our azure cli extension.

I have created AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-python#624 to track this issue.

While we will plan this feature as soon as possible, we can't provide an ETA at the moment.
Azure CLI is a product, not a library, so only MSI, DEB, RPM packages and docker images released by Microsoft are officially supported: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli.
Also, in the source code, there is no declaration that Python 3.12 is supported:
azure-cli/src/azure-cli/setup.py
Lines 39 to 50 in f74a18b
We don't guarantee Azure CLI works on all Python versions, such as the latest Python 3.12 or the deprecated Python 3.6. Installing Azure CLI with pip (#20476) is only a supplemental feature we provide for unsupported platforms, but without any warranty.
Thanks for understanding.
@jiasli its now over 2 months since this issue was first raised, are you any closer to knowing when this feature release (i.e. support for python 3.12) will be available please?
Any updates?
@mkleinbort-ic there is a workaround to install this dependency : AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-python#624 (comment)
But I haven't tested it yet, I don't have the time to meddle with this at the moment.
The suggested workaround from #27673 (comment) above did not work for me. However, simply installing the setuptools library did the trick.
Python version: 3.12
pip install setuptools

Sadly, this didn't work for me either (I'm on Windows). Same error as before.
Thanks for sharing though.
hey -- just wanted to bump this issue again to see if there is any estimate that can be provided for when (or if) the azure CLI will be compatible with python 3.12.
I saw that somebody states above that azure-cli does not support the installation via pip for Python 3.12. So, this message is just to spread the information, but no action is required.
A problem arose for the azure-cli feature in the DevContainer setup, as Debian Bookworm was not in the list of native installations, and a fallback to go via pip popped in. -> devcontainers/features#899
As I understand, the problem will be fixed over there, adding bookworm to the list of native installations.
Just to provide quick update re: latest release of azure-cli i.e. version 2.58.0 (5th March 2024)
This version of azure-cli still fails to install on Windows with the same pymsalruntime fatal error LNK1120 errors that were reported back in November 2023

Attempting to perform a manual upgrade of dependency pymsalruntime... pip install pymsalruntime --upgrade and pip install pymsalruntime==0.14.0 also fails with the same error. I see the latest release (0.14.1) was yanked back in January 2024 https://pypi.org/project/pymsalruntime/0.14.1/
pip install setuptools made Azure CLI work on my workstation, though I did not depply test. I just made simple az invocation tests, such as --version and so on.
