Issue script & Debug output

Any command with the --debug flag still results in the above error.

Expected behavior

Since any command errors out, expected behavior is to at least make it passed that python error.

Environment Summary

Running az --version still results in the same error. I can use 2.59.0 and update the azure-cli and core versions manually below:

azure-cli                         2.60.0

core                              2.60.0
telemetry                          1.1.0

Extensions:
azure-devops                      0.26.0
ssh                                1.1.6

Dependencies:
msal                              1.28.0
azure-mgmt-resource             23.1.0b2

Python location '/opt/azure-cli/bin/python'
Extensions directory '/home/<user>/.azure/cliextensions'

Python (Linux) 3.12.3 (main, Apr 23 2024, 09:16:07) [GCC 13.2.1 20240417]

Additional context

Pathlib was updated recently and have been experiencing other tools such as neovim extensions needing updates to reflect the new changes. This cloud be related to that, although 2.59.0 is still functional when I rollback to that version.

Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

Which OS are you using?
The path indicates that it's not an official CLI package.

[superkartoffel]

I can confirm this issue on arch linux with azure-cli package from the official extra repo and version azure-cli-2.60.0-1.
Meanwhile it has been fixed in azure-cli-2.60.0-3. Not sure what has changed, but the commit message mentions that the build process was broken. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/azure-cli/-/commit/451bdff2373a99d6c77336b642a7fb01eba6f2a8

@davidbgonz if you are on arch too, try to update the azure-cli package again.

[bebound]

Arch's extra/azure-cli 2.60.0-1 package is broken and fixed in newer version. Mentioned in #28796 (comment)

[davidbgonz]

I'm on arch. Yep, can confirm that the issue with that 2.60.0-1 build is now fixed in 2.60.0-3. Should this issue stay open until that PR is complete?

[bebound]

Close as Arch package is fixed.
The root issue is Python 3.12 support, which is tracked in #27673
