Azure CLI Python Dependency Issue

[theoaks]

This error keeps coming up. I have python installed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, but this doesn't go away. Even googling has brought up no solution.

Command
$ az -v
Output
/usr/local/bin/az: line 2: /usr/local/Cellar/azure-cli/2.27.0/libexec/bin/python: No such file or directory

Please help

OS: Mac OS Big Sur (Version 11.4 (20F71))

@theoaks Can you try clearing brew cache and maybe reinstalling Python as well? (through brew) I'm on MacOS Big Sur 11.5.1 (M1) and I don't have this problem with azcli 2.27.0.

Maybe I should run the latest update pending on my Mac and see if it fixes the issue

/usr/local/bin/az

yeah that's concerning, can you try $(brew --prefix)/bin/az -v?

@Volatus, thanks for the investigation. 😊

I tested on Big Sur 11.5.1 with Intel chip but couldn't repro this issue either. @theoaks, are you on M1 chip?

Azure CLI uses Python 3.8 installed by Homebrew:

$ which az
/usr/local/bin/az

$ cat /usr/local/bin/az
#!/usr/bin/env bash
AZ_INSTALLER=HOMEBREW /usr/local/Cellar/azure-cli/2.27.0/libexec/bin/python -m azure.cli "$@"

$ ls -l /usr/local/Cellar/azure-cli/2.27.0/libexec/bin/python
lrwxr-xr-x  1 user1  admin  84 Jul 30 19:10 /usr/local/Cellar/azure-cli/2.27.0/libexec/bin/python -> ../../../../../opt/[email protected]/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3.8

Could you share the result of

ls -l /usr/local/Cellar/azure-cli/2.27.0/libexec/bin/

[theoaks]

I'm on an Intel chip

ls -l /usr/local/Cellar/azure-cli/2.27.0/libexec/bin/python

We recently bumped the underlying Python to 3.9 in Azure CLI 2.27.1. Some users report it is working as expected (#19027 (comment)), could you upgrade to the latest version?

The issue is now resolved. Thanks
