[Discussion] In-portal editing will be disabled for Python Functions

Discussion for the announcement to remove portal editing for Python Functions

[mgrotheer]

I might've missed the reason, but why was editing from the portal removed for Python Functions? Is it a preview issue? I understand that Python Functions can be deployed through the CLI, but just curious on the reason for this.

@mdgrotheer in-portal editing for Python requires more investment to support streaming logs, installation of third-party packages, etc. so we decided to de-emphasize it for now. The plan is to bring a first-class experience back in the future. Exact timeline TBD.

This should be mentioned in the docs, e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-first-azure-function does not say what os/language combination will allow someone to continue with the tutorial.

Also would be nice to mention in which locations a resource is available. Apparently python is only supported on Linux Function Apps, and Linux function apps are not available in CentralUS.

This should be explicitly documented on the Azure UI

[sheecegardezi]

Any updates on when python will be supported in other regions like Australia? and
Is there a road map when support to edit python in web portal will be available ?
