Import error while running Python script as Azure webjob

Question

I'm trying to run a python script as an Azure webjob on App service. I have packaged the script along with required libraries using virtualenv. Still I'm getting import error.

File "D:\local\Temp\jobs\continuous\get-stock-details\03j5dtql.crz\lxml\html\__init__.py", line 53, in <module>
from .. import etree
ImportError: cannot import name 'etree'

I though of installing pip and the libraries directly using Kudu console, but there I'm getting Access denied error.

I'm using Python 3.6 and Windows as my OS.

I'm yet to test it. Will let you know. – Shiv Rajawat Nov 12 '19 at 05:58 — Shiv Rajawat, Nov 12 '19 at 05:58

I can reproduce the issue, you can use the --user parameter, then the error will not appear.

python -m pip install <package-name> --user
