python-papermill and its reverse deps will be removed from the archive due to a severe RC bug

[Aryan Karamtoth <spaciouscoder78@disroot.org>]

Hi,

I noticed that one of my packages, python-vector [1] has been scheduled for auto removal all of a sudden. Upon looking further, I noticed that python-papermill [2] has a severe RC bug [3] which is caused due to a failing dh_auto_test in papermill. 

I gave a good look at the file that's causing this which is  test_abs.py [4]  according to the RC bug. 

The error is:

______________________ ERROR collecting tests/test_abs.py ______________________
ImportError while importing test module '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/.pybuild/cpython3_3.13/build/tests/test_abs.py'.
Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.
Traceback:
/usr/lib/python3.13/importlib/__init__.py:88: in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
tests/test_abs.py:5: in <module>
    from azure.identity import EnvironmentCredential
E   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.identity'

This error is caused due to azure.identity library [5] which is not yet packaged into debian. One of the deps, python3-azure-datalake-store has recently made some changes to the library in v1.0.1 which is probably triggering another test failure locally on my system.

Changelog of  azure-datalake-store upstream's v1.0.1: 

Use generic azure token credential for auth instead of custom lib.auth

Error log: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/376fce59/

This is a severe severity RC bug that triggered autoremoval of the following python-papermill's reverse dependencies: python-ewoks, python-ewokscore, python-ewoksdask, python-ewoksorange, python-ewoksppf, python-vector, tomwer

If this RC bug isn't fixed by Oct 19, these packages will be removed from the archive. 

I've attempted a small fix by excluding the failing test in d/rules but im still not successful with it, it still causes the same errors. To me, the temporary fix to this problem could be excluding the failing test and fix the RC bug and packaging azure-identity later. 

Is there another way to fix this?
