[Packaging] Update the bundled Python to 3.8 #14093

Open jiasli opened 4 years ago

jiasli commented 4 years ago

Description

On windows, Azure CLI installed with pip (which uses the system Python 3.8) is faster than the one installed with MSI installer (which uses the bundled Python 3.6):

Installed with pip:

> Measure-Command {C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts\az.bat version}

Days              : 0
Hours             : 0
Minutes           : 0
Seconds           : 1
Milliseconds      : 231
Ticks             : 12315568
TotalDays         : 1.42541296296296E-05
TotalHours        : 0.000342099111111111
TotalMinutes      : 0.0205259466666667
TotalSeconds      : 1.2315568
TotalMilliseconds : 1231.5568

Installed with MSI installer:

Measure-Command {& "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\wbin\az.cmd" version}

Days              : 0
Hours             : 0
Minutes           : 0
Seconds           : 1
Milliseconds      : 550
Ticks             : 15507374
TotalDays         : 1.7948349537037E-05
TotalHours        : 0.000430760388888889
TotalMinutes      : 0.0258456233333333
TotalSeconds      : 1.5507374
TotalMilliseconds : 1550.7374

Goal

We should evaluate whether to update the bundled/built-in Python of MSI installer (or maybe deb installer on Ubuntu) to 3.8 for performance improvement.

@yonzhan / @jiasli Ideally installation using pip would get supported. I've logged this as a Feature Request: https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/14240
