Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several areas. For Python 3.8, instructions and examples consistently reference Windows environments (e.g., 'use a 64-bit Windows machine'), and wheel file naming conventions prioritize Windows architectures (win_amd64) before Linux equivalents. PowerShell cmdlets are provided for package management, with no Linux CLI or Bash alternatives. There is a lack of Linux-specific instructions or parity for managing packages on Linux-based Hybrid Runbook Workers, especially for Python 3.8. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents, and Linux examples are missing where relevant.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux instructions and examples for Python 3.8 package preparation and import, including wheel file creation on Linux.
- Include Bash, Azure CLI, or Python-based alternatives to PowerShell cmdlets for package management, especially for users on Linux or macOS.
- Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in tabs, rather than prioritizing Windows.
- Clarify which steps apply to Windows, Linux, or both, and ensure Linux Hybrid Runbook Worker scenarios are covered.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., pip, wheel, bash scripts) alongside Windows tools.
- Add explicit guidance for Linux users on preparing and importing packages for Python 3.8 Hybrid Runbook Workers.
