Unable to install azure-keyvault-secrets on local Azure function project

Question

Hi. Any help would be enormously appreciated.

I was able to convince my company to use services written in Python by deploy them into the Azure Cloud.

We are however stuck with this error for days without a solution (we have spent hours searching on the web for a solution but we haven't been able to find anything related):

I added azure-keyvault-secrets to my 'requirements.txt' file of an Azure Function in python within a local Azure Project. When I try to run the function, I always get the following error, only for that package:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:

'C:\Users\' ... ... ... ... '\App\.venv\Lib\site-packages\azure\keyvault\secrets\_generated\v2016_10_01\aio\operations\_key_vault_client_operations.py'

All other packages in 'requirements.txt' are correctly installed when running the Azure function.

Also, I have been able to just run <

@Rios, Andres

Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

Error Message:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'C:\Users\' ... ... ... ... '\App\.venv\Lib\site-packages\azure\keyvault\secrets\_generated\v2016_10_01\aio\operations\_key_vault_client_operations.py'

From your error message, I found some related issues that were resolved using the pip command - pip install 'package name' --user, can you see if running this helps resolve your issue?

If you're still having issues and to gain a better understanding of your issue:

• Can you share any screenshots and documentation you're following to set this up?
• Since you're getting this error when trying to run your Python Function app, have you tried reaching out to our Python experts via the Python Stack Overflow forum(s)?
