Why do most azure python packages not work in python 3.10 (Azure ML Studio notebook)

Question

I tried pip installing them, restarting kernels, etc.

If I switch to python 3.8 everything works as expected.

This is weird behavior, especially because 3.10 is the default selected python SDK.

Kind regards,

Hi Stijn Smulders

Each python kernel is separate environment.

If you have installed "azure-keyvault" and "azure-identity" in python 3.8 kernel, it won't be accessible in python 3.10 sdk v2 or another kernel.

You have to install them again if you are switching to different kernel for first time

Please make sure that you are installing with below pip command

%pip install azure-keyvault azure-identity

instead of

!pip install azure-keyvault azure-identity #throws module not found error.

Attached screenshots of trials with different kernels and above command for reference.

Hope it addresses your package installation issues.

Thank you
