The issue is with the Python version (>3.9)… Python realigned the modules.

either use Python v3.9 or prior ones OR
The base package needs to be modified (from where this import error is generating)

try:
    # Python <= 3.9
    from collections import Iterable
except ImportError:
    # Python > 3.9
    from collections.abc import Iterable

@XBeg9 Try rm -rf ~/.azure and running az login again. After doing this, I was able to run az get-credentials --resource-group {} --name {} --context {} successfully to connect via kubectl.

Annoyingly I can’t remember the other commands that I was seeing errors with to try them out to see if it resolves the issue. But there is a possibility it fixes the issue as now when I run az aks get-credentials I get the expected the following arguments are required .... as opposed to the above mentioned stacktrace.

Thanks @miwithro, I have tried this already.

I have tried just simply uninstalling and re-installing as well as uninstalling, running brew cleanup -s and even removing the brew cache directory rm -rf $(brew --cache) before re-installing again still yields the same results

Thank you so much for your solution! I was able to run the command!
