Asked by Horace Yip
I am new to Functions. I encountered an “Invalid virtualenv: Zip file does not include ‘activate_this.py’” error when running a Python script. There is no activate_this.py in the virtualenv directory created by doctl. Anyone suggestion on how to resolve this?

Hey @horaceyip,
I’ve not personally seen this error before. Is your function open-source? If so would you mind sharing a link to your GitHub repository here so I could try further investigating this for you?
If you prefer, please reach out to the DigitalOcean support team who will be happy to assist you with this issue:
Hope that helps!
