No module named azure.storage

Hello everyone,

I have written python code to access my blob storage working well locally from my PyCharm with Python 3.6.8.

import json
from azure.storage.blob import BlockBlobService

block_blob_service = BlockBlobService(account_name='XX', account_key='YY')
block_blob_service.get_blob_to_path('activities', 'remi', 'remi.json')

with open('remi.json') as json_file:
    activitiesAsStr = json_file.read().replace('','',1)
    activities = json.loads(activitiesAsStr)
    print(activities)

If I move this code into an Azure function using the core tools:

import logging
import json
import azure.functions as func
import pathlib
from azure.storage.blob import BlockBlobService

def main(req: func.HttpRequest) -> func.HttpResponse:
    logging.info('Python HTTP trigger function processed a request.')
    block_blob_service = BlockBlobService(account_name='ACCOUNT', account_key='KEY')
    block_blob_service.get_blob_to_path('activities', 'remi', 'remi.json')
    with open(pathlib.Path(__file__).parent / 'remi.json') as json_file:
        str = json_file.read().replace('','',1)
        headers  = {
                    "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
                    "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "Get, Post, Options"
        }
        return func.HttpResponse(str, headers=headers)

and launch it as debug from visual studio code or deploy it to the cloud and it no longer works.

The python interpreter points to the same python install that my standalone code that works outside of azure function.

Hi @marcosjur, You don’t need virtual environment to execute azure function in cloud So instead of above commands, use the below one
pip install --target=“$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/.python_packages/lib/site-packages” -r requirements.txt

I’m using python 3.8 and have the same issue. I have a Azure http function running well locally, but didn’t work when deploy to cloud. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘azure.storage’.
