azureml-sdk install

[WelchData]

Regarding Chp 3 and the Azure ML SDK install. The given install command of: $pip3 install --upgrade azureml-sdk created a few issues for me. For background, I am using a virtual environment and my python version is 3.9 - which appears to be a significant issue. Using the given install command was taking a very, very long time and seemed to be getting nowhere.

I'll reference this issue: Azure/MachineLearningNotebooks#1285 which outlines the python version problem.

I've tried to solve the issue by following one of the suggested fixes of installing with the flag: --ignore-requires-python.

I'm raising this issue to hopefully get guidance on whether this fix would work and also potentially help anyone else following along.

Hi WelchData

I am running into the same issue. Apparently the Python SDK for ML does not work with Python 3.9. I was able to install the python SDK with Python version 3.8.10 and pip version 21.1.1

As noted in Issue #1275, per @jeff-shepherd's comment, support for 3.9 is now provided. Support for 3.10 is provided in "the new SDK V2 preview" according to @jeff-shepherd's other comment. Support is not complete for 3.10 SDK V1 apparently.
