Azure WebApp Use Pipfile.lock instead of requirements.txt

I am attempting to deploy a django web-app to an Azure web server. According to the documentation, for dependencies, it automatically looks for either a requirements.txt or a setup.py. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-language-python#could-not-find-setuppy-or-requirementstxt).

Due to a bug in one of the sub dependencies of one of the packages, I cannot use a requirements.txt (See the 3rd comment of the answer of the following: AttributeError: type object 'Callable' has no attribute '_abc_registry').

And instead, I must use a Pipfile.lock file instead. Just wondering how to actually use this in the install step. I am presuming I have to use the only other option which is a setup.py file, but I’m not sure what this file would look like. All the documentation I have seen online doesn’t involve running a Pipfile in the setup.py script.

Any help is appreciated~

    To deploy a Django web app to Azure using a Pipfile.lock instead of a requirements.txt, modify the setup.py file to read the Pipfile.lock and extract the dependencies, then use the extracted dependencies in the install_requires argument of the setup() function. This allows Azure to install the specified dependencies during deployment.

    In my Django app, I generated piplock file by using the method below:-

    pip install pipenv
pipenv lock

    enter image description here

    My Pipfile.lock:-

    {
    "_meta": {
        "hash": {
            "sha256": "xxxx76effee8c7b80e4681e9321520166449ce8999a4ad0c168efdd"

                "verify_ssl": true
            }
        ]
    },
    "default": {

            "hashes": [
                "sha256:xxxxa16eef663bc0e2e703ec6468e2fa8a5cd61cd449786d4f6e",

            ],
            "markers": "python_version < '3.11'",

        },
        "tzdata": {
            "hashes": [
                "sha256:xxxxx95bdb1be05da659673de4acbd21bf9c69e94cc5e907a3a",
                "sha256:xxxxx099b6939b5546db7adce1e7d6f2e179e3df563c70511eda"
            ],
            "markers": "sys_platform == 'win32'",
            "version": "==2023.3"
        },
        "whitenoise": {
            "hashes": [
                "sha256:xxxxccaebxxx48450b8f0307ca368195a8",
                "sha256:xxxx9031cc9bb2cdbc8e5e53365407acf99f7ade9ec"
            ],
            "index": "pypi",
            "version": "==6.5.0"
        }
    },
    "develop": {}
}

    Now create a setup.py file like below and run it:-

    setup.py file:-

    import os
from setuptools import setup

def read_requirements():
    with open('Pipfile.lock') as f:
        requirements = f.readlines()
    return [req.strip() for req in requirements]

setup(
    name='msdocs-python-django-webapp-quickstart',
    version='1.0',
    install_requires=read_requirements(),
)

    And install the setup.py file by running the command below:-

    python setup.py install
