hi,

I am trying to use gremlin python in azure function.

technically it should be possible, but i ran into multiple issues.

1) tornedo used in gremlin python has compatibility issue with python 3.8+, it impacts windows machine, so running on local was nightmare, but it worked fine in axure(where machine is linux)

for local fix was

if sys.platform == 'win32':
    asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())  # python-3.8.0a4

2) i had to write following line in my init function, without it, i was not able to run my function multiple times

import nest_asyncio
nest_asyncio.apply()

3) now when i am able to run the function, issue is. I am not able to close client.close() function without getting error. "client" is for cosmosDB(gremlin). error is mentioned in the link below.

    @Prasad, Rakesh Based on the error, you are likely not running your function without async, causing a thread creation instead of an event loop as mentioned in the official docs.
