Just as an FYI, Azure CLI uses packaging.version for version parsing:
but it may be too heavy for MSAL.

Indeed. In fact, msal-extensions used to also use packaging.version but have since removed it in https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-extensions-for-python/pull/125.

The lengthy discussion in "Updates to msal/application.py may now be out-of-sync with msal_extensions"
#745 considered a mitigation of introducing a new optional dependency
msal[extensions]for MSAL. However, after offline discussion, we believe it has two drawbacks: (1) it is hardly discoverable for mostmsal-extensionsusers, and (2) it introduces a permanent "msal[extensions]" declaration only for trivial gain.So, we ended up settling on an alternative. MSAL will now detect the
msal-extensionsfrom the current environment. If its version is lower than 1.2.0, MSAL will emit a warning like this:This PR will close #745 .
