Question: Is it safe/okay to pip freeze > requirements.txt pinning the azure-functions version?

[FilBot3]

Is it okay to:

python -m pip freeze > requirements.txt

the Python packages installed during development and pinning the azure-functions version? I'm not clear if Azure Functions will read that file and install the dependencies listed in that file.

Yes, you can. Dependencies are obtained remotely based on the contents of the requirements.txt file.
Please read this for more detail:

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-reference-python#package-management

My recommendation is to include only minimum packages in requirements.txt.
