Python function not finding packages

Posted on August 18, 2024
Python Functions
Asked by Erik-Lindholm

I can’t seem to be able to get my packages installed when doing doctl serverless deploy. I have followed this guide And also tried whats been suggested in this community question

Here is my build.sh

#!/bin/bash
set -e
virtualenv --without-pip virtualenv
pip install -r requirements.txt --target virtualenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages

I have tried with several different packages and still no luck. Example requirements.txt

yfinance==0.2.40

I have also tried with and without --remote-build flag but nothing works. I just get:

stderr: Invalid function: No module named 'yfinance'

I’m using a .include file if this is in any way relevant. Would really appreciate getting a hand here 'cause I’m about to give up on the whole functions thing.

Hey!

This is quite interesting. Can you confirm your exact function folder structure?

Also, it is possible that your sh file is not executable, you can try to make your .sh file executable, using the chmod command in your terminal:

chmod +x build.sh

If this still persists, is your project open-source? If so, can you share a link here so I could take a look and try to spot any issues that might be causing this.
