I’m trying to run a script in IDLE to get a token for connection to company Azure resource. The line token = AzureCliCredential().get_token(scope).token throws the error: azure.identity._exceptions.CredentialUnavailableError: Azure CLI not found on path

I am certain that Azure Cli is installed on machine and is on path. az login works from the terminal. az --version returns the following:

az --version        
azure-cli                         2.63.0

core                              2.63.0
telemetry                          1.1.0

Dependencies:
msal                              1.30.0
azure-mgmt-resource               23.1.1

Your CLI is up-to-date.

This is the contents of /etc/paths:

/usr/local/bin
/System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin

When I ran the same script on my Windows machine previously, it would take my Azure CLI credentials from running az login and retrieve a bearer token for an http request to my azure function, authenticating the connection. I’ve recently changed over to a mac workstation (macOS Sonoma Version 14.6, M2 Pro chip) and I’ve had issues with getting Azure and python to play together nicely. I’m new to the mac environment, so I’m struggling to do things that are straight forward to me in Windows. I suspect that the issue has to do with the IDLE/Python version since the az –version lists Python 3.11.9 and IDLE version is 3.12.4, but I’m not sure.
