hi,
I am trying to run azure function locally.
I want to use conda python for it. And I do not want to set python path at system level. (i have 4-5 python projects each using different conda environment).
function runs fine in Azure. My question is can i run it locally with conda?
my build process run fine, as settings.json and tasks.json can take python path as argument. and I am able to run it with one specific environment of conda.
but it seems launch is having an issue. how can i resolve it? 
i am getting error as =>
> Executing task: func host start <
Could not find a Python version. Python 3.6.x, 3.7.x, 3.8.x or 3.9.x is recommended, and used in Azure Functions.
The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command func host start" terminated with exit code: 1.

funcis running in a new PowerShell prompt instead of directly in the current shell. Could you share yourlaunch.jsonandtasks.json? -

Jun 18, 2021, 1:39 PM yes, kind of.
i am able to find by comparison. I just compared 2 projects. one working and one that stopped working.
only consistent difference was, missing ".venv" environment.
i tried searching web, on its significant, how to restore it? or how to create one, if it went missing.
I was not able to find anything on it. So I created new project from start and just got my assets(files) in new one.

Jun 22, 2021, 2:28 PM Oh yeah, it's the environment that is automatically generated when creating a new function using the Azure Function vs extension. It's a "vanilla" venv (created using python -m venv).
So it's not a real conda one.On my side I gave up. I cannot find a way to decently debug this thing using conda environment because it's always activating the venv described by the python.venv variable as a vanilla venv.
I do not think it's something we have hands on.
