Summary:
The documentation is generally cross-platform and Linux-friendly, with explicit statements that Python Functions run on Linux in Azure. However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the order and phrasing of some development and publishing guidance. Specifically, 'command prompt' is used as a synonym for 'terminal', and remote build is recommended 'when developing Python apps on Windows', with local build discouraged for Windows users. Visual Studio Code is emphasized, but that is cross-platform. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, and Linux is well-represented in hosting and deployment sections.
Recommendations:
- Replace 'command prompt' with 'terminal' or 'shell' to avoid Windows-centric terminology. If both are meant, clarify with 'terminal (Linux/macOS) or command prompt (Windows)'.
- When discussing remote vs. local build, explain the technical reasons for the recommendation, and provide equivalent Linux/macOS guidance, not just Windows.
- Where possible, add explicit Linux/macOS CLI examples (e.g., bash/zsh) alongside any Windows-specific instructions.
- Review all tool references (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Azure Functions Core Tools) to ensure installation and usage instructions are clear for both Windows and Linux users.
- Consider adding a section or callout summarizing any platform-specific caveats for local development, so Linux users are equally informed.
