Describe the bug
When I open an ephemeral cloud shell session, and type az --help I see the following: No module named 'distutils' printed.
This is causing our az commands to fail in unexpected ways. We use output from az commands to capture string output and the error message "No module named 'distutils'" is prepended to the string output. An example of this is an attempt we made to capture a connection string that ended up looking like this:
"No module named 'distutils' {connection string here}"
You can reproduce this error easily by typing az --help in cloud shell.
This happens with multiple az commands, not just --help.
Related command
az --help
