How to use python virtual env in azure webjob

Question

I'm trying to set up a python script as an azure webjob and the script is using several external dependencies, and in the documantation there seem to be no reference to using virtual env for webjobs.

how can i set a virtual env for the webjob? preferably without collecting the enviroment locally and running the script thorugh run.cmd

If you are trying to activate an already existing virtualenv, you can call its activate script. For instance, if you want to activate the web app's virtualenv, you can run

/path/to/web-app/env/Scripts/activate.bat

to acticate that particular virtulenv.
