import azure.functions as func
from azure.storage.blob import generate_container_sas

with

Exception: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.storage'.

Package is installed in the venv

$ .venv/Scripts/python -m pip freeze
azure-core==1.9.0
azure-functions==1.5.0
azure-storage-blob==12.6.0
...

My requirements.txt file:

azure-functions
azure-storage-blob==12.6.0

What am I missing?

Answer 1

From you description, it seems you are based on global environment instead of running in .venv environment.

Please pay attention to this:

If you are based on Windows OS, then I think you need to use below command:

cd .venv

then

.Scriptsactivate.bat

After all, run

cd ..

func host start

After that, It works fine on my side.
