Cannot import email.mime with Python (v3.6) Azure Function v2

From @chisqrd on February 14, 2019 20:4

I cannot seem to email from an python azure function on linux consumption plan. I created a function with Visual Studio Code and it does locally run fine.

requirements.txt has the following

azure-functions==1.0.0b3 azure-functions-worker==1.0.0b3 grpcio==1.14.2 grpcio-tools==1.14.2 protobuf==3.6.1 six==1.12.0 psycopg2==2.7.6.1 azure-keyvault azure-common

Where it errors out is from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart though I did verify right before that email package was in sys.modules.

The error I get is the following

2019-02-14T17:46:30.945 [Error] An error occurred: No module named ‘email.mime’

Is this a known issue or am i missing something?

Apologies for the delay here. I was able to reproduce this issue. You can mitigate it by using the --no-bundler flag while publishing. So, you can use func azure functionapp publish <appname> --build-native-deps --no-bundler.

We are working on improving our publishing pipeline through platform changes. Until then, please continue to use that flag if you experience issues with certain modules.

Using that flag, you may see some performance decrease (longer cold start). Additional details on the flag can be found here.

Let me know if you continue to see issues after using that flag.

Same issue! Just to prevent this question: No, no file is or was called email.py.
