@Viswa-Ranjan-Sahu, you are using the pip install from within the venv it seems. You would need to run python -m pip install -r requirements.txt from with a non-venv directory.

If we need to use a virtual environment, what is the process for it to work? I work on multiple projects with different versions of python and packages, and virtual environments are mandatory in my case. It seems to me that running func start is not using currently activated python. I would expect python3 -m venv .venv and source .venv/bin/activate and pip install -r requirements.txt and func start to work, but it fails when importing packages that are installed in the activated virtual env. Thanks
