How can I deploy a Python Azure function to a Windows Azure function App?

Question

I would like to deploy a python Azure function to a Windows function app. I know that windows function app cannot run python functions natively but I thought it would be possible to do it through a Docker container?

But from the documentation, it seems impossible? There must be solution for this
