Instead of shelling out and parsing text, you import the `az` function, call it with a command string (e.g., `az(\"group list\")`), and receive a named tuple with an exit code, a parsed dictionary of the result, and any error logs. It relies on azure-cli being installed and configured on your system, using the same authentication and config stored in ~/.azure that the CLI itself uses.\n\nThe package is straightforward: it wraps the azure.cli.core interface and handles the plumbing of invoking commands and unpacking their output. It's useful for automation scripts, infrastructure-as-code tools, or applications that need to orchestrate Azure resources programmatically without building against the full Azure SDK.","worth_installing":"No. While the package works and has low install friction, it is abandoned (last release 2021-03-14, last commit 2022-02-25). It will not receive updates for new Azure CLI versions, Python releases, or security issues. For new projects, use the official Azure SDK for Python instead; for existing code, consider migrating away."},"id":"az-cli","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/az-cli","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/az-cli.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/az-cli/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-03-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"az.cli","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An interface to execute Azure CLI commands using Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":585025,"position":5887,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5"}
