from azure.identity import AzureCliCredential
from azure.mgmt.resource import SubscriptionClient

credential = AzureCliCredential()
subscription_client = SubscriptionClient(credential)

subscription = next(subscription_client.subscriptions.list())
print(subscription.subscription_id)

but it doesn't work, I get this error:

Exception has occurred: AttributeError

subscription = next(subscription_client.subscriptions.list())

Hi @lovettchris, thank you for opening this issue! We'll investigate this ASAP.

That snippet requires azure-mgmt-resource 15.0.0+. The error indicates you have an older version installed. The document is in fact trying to clarify that point (unsuccessfully, it seems 😆). This issue is very timely--earlier today I opened #18239 to add more detail about this sort of thing to the azure-identity migration guide. Do you find the new content in my PR helpful?
