Hi @Suresh G Nair , just to confirm - are you using python v 3.8 on azure app service? Developing on Azure requires Python 3.9 or higher. so 3.8 should is not supported. To verify the version of Python on your workstation, in a console window type the command python3 --version for macOS/Linux. Keep in mind Python on Windows is no longer supported. Here are a few potential solutions to resolve this error:

1. Make sure the Python version you’re using is supported. You might need to upgrade or downgrade your Python version to a supported one.
2. The Oryx build environment might not support the Python version you’re using. You can check the supported versions in the Oryx documentation or GitHub page
3. The build command you’re using might not be correct. Make sure you’re using the correct command for your platform and Python version

Hope that helps.

Best, Grace
