Summary
The documentation generally maintains good cross-platform parity, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. In several places, Windows terminology ("command prompt") is used alongside or before more neutral terms ("terminal"). Visual Studio Code is highlighted as the primary editor, which is cross-platform but often associated with Windows. The publishing workflow recommends remote build for users developing on Windows, and local build is discouraged for Windows users. There is also a reference to the Python standard library being installed with Python on Windows, while on Unix-based systems it's provided by package collections, which may suggest a Windows-centric perspective. However, most code examples, commands, and folder structures are platform-neutral, and Linux hosting is clearly stated as the only supported production environment for Python on Azure Functions.
Recommendations
- Use platform-neutral terms such as "terminal" or "shell" instead of "command prompt" unless specifically referring to Windows.
- When listing development environments or tools, present cross-platform options first or equally (e.g., "Terminal or command prompt" before "Visual Studio Code" or vice versa, but clarify both are cross-platform).
- Clarify that Visual Studio Code is available on all major platforms, not just Windows.
- In the package management and publishing sections, provide explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples where appropriate (e.g., bash/zsh), and clarify any platform-specific differences.
- When referencing the Python standard library, note that it is included in all official Python distributions, regardless of OS, to avoid implying Windows is the default.
- If mentioning Windows-specific behaviors or recommendations (such as remote build), provide equivalent guidance for Linux/macOS users.
- Ensure that all instructions, especially for local development and deployment, are equally clear for Linux/macOS users (e.g., mention bash/zsh shells, Homebrew, etc., if relevant).
