Thanks for the PR. This is a huge change, and would be very hard to maintain I'm afraid. How do you plan to maintain this?

I'm also curious how you made this change. I've not been able to get pypi2nix to work with it, and I'm interested in having this available and possibly maintaining.

Yeah, I agree that this will be painful to maintain. The way I created them was a lot of checking pypi.org for packages and figuring out the dependencies from there. It took a few hours. I would've liked to have to tried pypi2nix, but I also couldn't get it to work, but I'm a python noob.

I'll come back to this and see figure out some path forward.

Has the situation gotten any better? azure-cli is at 2.0.61 by now…

This is stalled and should probably be closed. @FRidh

the azure-{,mgmt}-* packages have been added by #60435 (rotting a huge portion of this PR)

recently, the azure-cli consolidated/flattened a lot of their azure-cli-* namespace packages into the azure-cli package Azure/azure-cli#9590

Also, the azure-cli is meant to be a "flexible" interactive tool, in which the surface API isn't stable at all. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/release-notes-azure-cli?view=azure-cli-latest for "removed" or "BREAKING CHANGE" entries. (So this would be very hard to maintain, as the dependency graph is also very dynamic between, or overly constrained on certain packages see setup.py

At the very least, I would recommend closing this ticket @FRidh

Let's close this, we can always resume from what's in this PR. Thanks!
