Install `az login` only

See original GitHub issue

Hi, Is it possible to install a lightweight version of az login?

We’re installing just az login for CI/CD jobs (with pip/pipenv). But installing azure-cli downloads an extreme amount of dependencies for ever sub module.

I have tried to install azure-cli-profile, but it does not provide the cli.

Othwerwise, it would be super useful to be able to install selected command_modules via python “extras”.

In a world of lightweight containers this would be great. I can’t understand why this was chose to closed. I understand that it would take work, everything does.

@yonzhan, yes i get it, @jiasli already said that.

But that’s not how feature requests work… You can’t close a feature request by arguing that the feature is not implemented… That’s what status “open” is for.

It can be a decision to “won’t fix” from the PM/core team (based on e.g. architectural limitations), but that dialogue has not taken place here.

Even though the size of azure-cli is trimmed, it will install a huge amount of unneeded dependencies for users only needing az login (which is a very common scenario). It takes time to install, but also clutters the venv and increases the risk of conflicts/bugs.

Is it possible to implement “extras” python modules?
