### Test your extension on Python 3

- The Azure CLI supports Python 3.9 ~ 3.13 so verify that your extension does the same.
- The Azure CLI supports Python 3.10 ~ 3.13 so verify that your extension does the same.
- You can create virtual environments for different versions and run your extension in them.
- e.g. `python3.9 -m venv env38` and `python3.10 -m venv env310`.
- e.g. `python3.13 -m venv env313`.

[nitpick] The example shows only Python 3.13, but it would be more helpful to show multiple versions (e.g., both 3.10 and 3.13) to better illustrate testing across the supported version range, especially since the previous line mentions verifying support for all versions from 3.10 to 3.13.

Suggested change
- e.g. `python3.13 -m venv env313`.
- e.g. `python3.10 -m venv env310` and `python3.13 -m venv env313`.

The comment suggests installing 'the latest Python 3.12' but the actual minimum version is 3.10 and maximum supported is 3.13. This should either say 'Install Python 3.12 or later' or 'Install Python 3.10 or later (3.12 recommended)' to be consistent with the supported version range stated earlier in the document.

Suggested change
Install the latest Python 3.12 available in the software repo.
Install Python 3.10 or later (3.12 recommended) available in the software repo.

3.13 is not in the default repo yet. 3.12 is the latest version in RHEL.
