Summary
The documentation page exhibits several forms of Windows bias. In command examples and troubleshooting steps, Windows (and PowerShell) instructions are often presented before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. Some sections provide only Windows-specific commands or tools (e.g., PowerShell, 'py' launcher), with Linux/Unix alternatives mentioned second or less thoroughly. There are also references to Windows-only packages (e.g., pywin32) and patterns (pip freeze from Windows), but Linux-specific troubleshooting and best practices are less emphasized.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side, or default to Linux-first examples since Azure Functions Python runs on Linux.
  • Ensure all command examples (e.g., checking Python bitness, deleting directories) include both Linux (bash) and Windows (PowerShell/CMD) variants with equal prominence.
  • Highlight Linux deployment patterns and troubleshooting steps, especially since the runtime is Linux-based.
  • Explicitly warn users developing on Windows about cross-platform issues and provide Linux-oriented solutions.
  • Include more Linux tool recommendations (e.g., bash, native package managers) and avoid assuming use of Windows-specific tools (e.g., py launcher, PowerShell).
  • Where packages are Windows-only, suggest Linux alternatives or clarify limitations for Linux deployments.
