Azure Functions—Python support in preview
Published date: 24 September, 2018
Azure Functions now supports Python development using Python 3.6 on the Functions v2 (cross-platform) runtime. You can now use your Python code and dependencies on Linux-based Functions, or build/publish a Docker container, while enjoying an end-to-end development experience—build, debug/test, publish—using local tooling, such as Functions CLI and VS Code.
