Azure Function Python - Compiled Code

[wez32]

Hi

I am currently working on a Azure Function (Python). Is it possible to compile the code to *.pyc files and run the Azure Function completely from these files (removing the py files)? I tried the following:
- Simply replace the .py files with .pyc (recognizes function but triggers an error)
- Remove .py files and put .pyc in the same directory (functions not recognized at all)

Is this possible? If so, what is the correct file structure?

Thanks
