Azure functions: Installing Python modules and extensions on consumption plan : <p>I am trying to run a python script with Azure functions. 
I had success updating the python version and installing modules on Azure functions under the App Services plan but I need to use it under the Consumption plan as my script will only execute once everyday and for only a few minutes, so I want to pay only for the time of execution. See: <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/services/functions/" rel="noreferrer">https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/services/functions/</a></p>

<p>Now I'm still new to this but from my understanding the consumption plan spins up the vm and terminates it after your script has been executed unlike the App Service plan which is always on. 
I am not sure why this would mean that I can't have install anything on it. I thought that would just mean I have to install it every time I spin it up. </p>

<p>I have tried installing modules through the python script itself and the kudu command line with no success.</p>

<p>While under the app service plan it was simple, following this tutorial: <a href="https://prmadi.com/running-python-code-on-azure-functions-app/" rel="noreferrer">https://prmadi.com/running-python-code-on-azure-functions-app/</a></p>
