ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.storage'. Azure Function

Question

I am trying to use an Azure Function to generate a SAS token. The import statement is failing.

import azure.functions as func
from azure.storage.blob import generate_container_sas

with

Exception: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.storage'.

from azure.storage.blob import generate_container_sas.

Package is installed in the venv

$ .venv/Scripts/python -m pip freeze
azure-core==1.9.0
azure-functions==1.5.0
azure-storage-blob==12.6.0
...

My requirements.txt file:

azure-functions
azure-storage-blob==12.6.0

What am I missing?

@JosephXu - I have a requirements.txt that I added to the question — MikeF, Jan 09 '21 at 15:04
According to the error message, maybe you can use anaconda to create a python3.8 env locally to run the code? — Joseph Xu, Jan 10 '21 at 01:44

From you description, it seems you are based on global environment instead of running in .venv environment.

Please pay attention to this:

If you are based on Windows OS, then I think you need to use below command:

cd .venv

then

.\Scripts\activate.bat

After all, run

cd ..

func host start

After that, It works fine on my side.

Thanks, azure tools had created a venv for me but I had to activate it with source .venv/Scripts/activate. – MikeF Jan 11 '21 at 11:25

Seems the issue is similar to the one here

At the moment only python3.7 is supported for this version of azure-storage-blob
