Python - Add MSAL library from Microsoft to call Azure API for authentication

We have a use-case to automate PKI calls using APIs in Azure but that requires the MSAL library from Microsoft: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/msal-overview
However, when running the python script that relies in msal the import msal fails with: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'msal'.

    Hi
    Yes, we are trying to install it for all (manually) with:
    python3 -m pip install --proxy http://<proxy-host>:8080 --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org 'requests>=2.0.0,<3' --target /<target-path>/packages/

    However, if it would be part of the official python package from IBM we would always have the most current version. And all others would benefit from this as well and must not install it manually either. As certificate renewal can only be automated on an Azure PKI with this msal library approach,  unless you  have another idea?

    msal can be downloaded from pypi.org - which is where Microsoft distributes it. Have you tried installing it from there (or your internal artifact repository cache/proxy) with pip install msal? IBM doesn't really have a way of packaging these things specifically. Also, in case the library doesn't run on z/OS Microsoft would have to provide the fix. (Disclaimer: I'm not with IBM)
