It exposes decorators and type hints for defining function entry points triggered by HTTP requests, timers, queue messages, blob storage events, and other Azure services. The library handles the marshaling between Azure's function runtime and your Python code, so you write a decorated function and the runtime invokes it when events arrive.\n\nThe package is designed to work within Azure's managed environment but can also be used locally during development with the Azure Functions Core Tools CLI. It requires Python 3.13 or later and depends only on werkzeug for HTTP handling, making it lightweight to install. The library is actively maintained and production-stable, suitable for teams building event-driven applications on Azure's infrastructure.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building on Azure Functions. This is the official Python library for the platform and is actively maintained with no known vulnerabilities. Install friction is low, licensing is permissive, and it supports current Python versions (3.13+). Not applicable outside the Azure Functions ecosystem."},"id":"azure-functions","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-functions","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-functions.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/azure-functions/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"azure-functions","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python library for Azure Functions."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":6157774,"position":1962,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.0"}
