Summary:
The documentation generally maintains good cross-platform parity and emphasizes Linux as the primary hosting environment for Python Azure Functions. However, there are subtle Windows biases: Windows terminology ("command prompt") is often used before or instead of Linux/Unix equivalents ("terminal"), and Windows-specific recommendations (such as using remote build when developing on Windows) are present. The documentation also references Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions Core Tools, which are cross-platform, but the language sometimes prioritizes Windows workflows. There are no explicit PowerShell-only examples or exclusive use of Windows tools, but the ordering and phrasing can give the impression of Windows-first development.
Recommendations:
- Use neutral, cross-platform terminology such as "terminal" or "shell" instead of "command prompt" or pair them equally (e.g., "terminal or command prompt").
- When giving recommendations (e.g., for remote build), clarify that the advice applies to both Windows and Linux where appropriate, or explain the rationale for any OS-specific guidance.
- Ensure that all CLI examples use bash/zsh syntax by default, or provide both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (bash) variants where differences exist.
- If referencing Visual Studio Code, clarify that it is available on all major platforms.
- Explicitly mention Linux/macOS support in all tool and workflow descriptions, especially in sections that mention local development or publishing.
- Avoid language that suggests Windows is the default or preferred development environment for Python on Azure Functions.
