Not able to retrieve azure service principal password using azure sdk for python

[tapatel]

Is there a way to retrieve azure service principal password using azure sdk for python? I am creating service principal using following but service principal create response has empty password.

def create_azure_service_principal(self, app_name=None):

    app = self.graphrbac_client.applications.create({
        'available_to_other_tenants': False,
        'display_name': app_name,
        'identifier_uris': [f'http://{app_name}'],
        'app_roles': []
    })

    sp = self.graphrbac_client.service_principals.create({
        'app_id': app.app_id,
        'account_enabled': True
    })
    return sp

Here is the response :

{
'additional_properties': {
'odata.type': 'Microsoft.DirectoryServices.ServicePrincipal',
'signInAudience': 'AzureADMyOrg',

}

Is there a way to reset the service principal using python sdk?

Not : I know we can this using azure cli but not sure if i want to mix azure sdk and cli in my code.

Please advice...
