Please remove the -y option when install:
sudo zypper install --from azure-cli azure-cli, then input2to continue install.Since Python 3.3, a subset of python-virtualenv has been integrated into the standard library under the venv module(quotes from here). I don’t think the lack of python-virtualenv will break things, at least for most of the feature. It should work. Let me know if you still have any issue.
Howdy @achandmsft, I’m going to need your help prioritizing this issue. 😃
If python2-virtualenv is not required - would it be possible to remove the dependency to get error-free experience?
When installed manually you might type in 2 but this is extremely unfriendly for any automated install…
Are there any updates?
Still the same error with azure-cli-2.0.71-1.el7.x86_64. Would be nice to have a solution anytime in 2019.
