I downgraded from python 3.12.0 to python 3.11.9 and it worked

found from a comment inside this issue...

We can not use Python 3.11 due to issues with Cryptography module and the ADO build agent versions.

Is development on 3.12 not supported yet, looks like the 3.12 support is in GA on Azure Functions now

An update on this, using the latest python 3.12 version seems to start up the functions correctly . 3.12.10
