Today I ran into an issue with az aks nodepool add See this issue. Apparently the problem is brew automatically upgraded to Python 3.10 because of some other dependancy. This is not the first time I have run into CLI issues on the Mac because of Python incompatibilities. Hence I suggest the documentation note the option of using conda with a pinned version of Python and switch environments before running az

I have to admit Homebrew is indeed not very user-friendly to developers 🙁 (Homebrew/discussions#155).

We don't officially support conda either, but we do support Python's built-in module venv. You are welcome to create a venv and install Azure CLI with pip.

See Azure/azure-cli#20476.
