Support Python 3.9

[jmwoloso]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'd like to use Python 3.9 however, azureml-train-automl-client has a requirement for python <3.9,>=3.6

Describe the solution you'd like Support Python 3.9

Describe alternatives you've considered N/A

Additional context Traceback:

ERROR: Package 'azureml-train-automl-client' requires a different Python: 3.9.9 not in '<3.9,>=3.6'

Hi @jmwoloso thanks for your feedback. @bandsina can you help with this request?

[jmwoloso]

@bandsina @kristapratico do we think this will be something addressed soon or will it take some time? just curious because we're in the process of testing library upgrades on our production pipelines and we'd like to upgrade to python 3.9 if possible depending on the timeline here.

Similarly I'd like to upgrade a package containing azureml-pipeline-steps to Python 3.9, and this has a dependency on azureml-train-automl-client. Any update on the timeline @bandsina @kristapratico ?

@azureml-github

Sorry, for the delay. Let me find someone from the Azure ML team to help with this query.

@azureml-github @kristapratico - any update on this issue?

[andrii-kokhan]

Can i ask you to kindly give us a hint as to the possible date of aligning azureml-train-automl-* libs with python 3.9? Any plans at all? That would help us to plan migration to later python version.

[kristapratico]

Hi @andrii-kokhan, I've reached out to the ML team. Will reply as soon as I get an answer.

I just completed the change to allow azureml-train-automl-client to work with Python 3.9. This should be available in the next Azure ML SDK release, 1.45.0.

Thank you.

@jeff-shepherd one more question. any idea on the timeline for the next release?

[jeff-shepherd]

@jmwoloso Currently, we release the Azure ML SDK once a month. I think Azure ML SDK 1.45.0 will be released to PyPI on August 29th, 2022.

[jmwoloso]

Perfect, thank you @jeff-shepherd!
