yum install azure-cli and pip install everything else makes issues.

If you install azure-cli with yum it installs everything into a different location than all the rest of the python site libraries.

This causes several issues.

1. The first issue is that the global extensions no longer load into the env when calling az commands. This is because the global extensions as noted in the line of code below pulls from the python lib folder which is not where yum installs az. This means that any system-level extentions never get loaded in any other run if you set the AZURE_CONFIG_DIR to any custom dir on the server.

2. The second issue comes up when you try to fix this. To fix this I uninstalled AZ from yum and then went to install it in python. Again because of all the unneeded custom installation hoops it goes through to install with yum it totally hoses python and python no longer works. I then had to reinstall python and totally re-build my site libs on our deployment servers.

Python version 3.6.8
azclie yum 2.33.1-1

3. This also allows you to install in compatible version of azure cli.... if you have 4.0 installed in python-pip modules and then yum install az cli you then have 5.0 az installed again in this custom location....
