Hi @RaghavendraSC-9485 ,

I'm assuming you're letting Oryx run the build and install your requirements.txt file. Normally, your Python modules are installed inside a virtual environment, (antenv). You may not be shell'ing into the virtual environment and therefore not seeing the modules. The best way to know for sure if you're having missing modules is running your application and checking the log files for error messages related to missing modules.

If you do happen to run into module errors, have a look at https://azure.github.io/AppService/2020/12/11/cicd-for-python-apps.html on how to configure your CI/CD yaml pipeline for a Python app.
