My goal is to run a python script that uses Anaconda libraries (such as Pandas) on Azure WebJob but can't seem to figure out how to load the libraries.
I start out just by testing a simple azure blob to blob file copy which works when run locally but hit into an error "ImportError: No module named 'azure'" when ran in WebJob.
example code:
from azure.storage.blob import BlockBlobService
blobAccountName =
blobStorageKey =
containerName =
blobService = BlockBlobService(account_name=blobAccountName,
account_key=blobStorageKey)
blobService.set_container_acl(containerName)
b = blobService.get_blob_to_bytes(containerName, 'file.csv')
blobService.create_blob_from_bytes(containerName, 'file.csv', b.content)
As you can see, I can't even get Azure SDK libraries to run... let alone Anacondas :-(
Hence I would appreciate if someone could guide me step-by-step...
How do I run a python script that requires external libraries such as Anaconda (and even Azure SDK). How do I "pip install" these stuff for a WebJob?
Thanks!!!

It seems like you've kown about deployment of Azure WebJobs, I offer the below steps for you to show how to load external libraries in python scripts.
Step 1 :
Use the virtualenv component to create an independent python runtime environment in your system.Please install it first with command pip install virtualenv if you don't have it.
If you installed it successfully ,you could see it in your python/Scripts file.
Step2 : Run the commad to create independent python runtime environment.
Step 3: Then go into the created directory's Scripts folder and activate it (this step is important , don't miss it)
Please don't close this command window and use pip install to download external libraries in this command window.
Step 4:Keep the Sample.py uniformly compressed into a folder with the libs packages in the Libs/site-packages folder that you rely on.
Step 5:
Create webjob in Web app service and upload the zip file,then you could execute your Web Job and check the log
In addition, if you want to use the modules in Anaconda, please download them separately. There is no need to download the entire library.
Hope it helps you.
