Hi Anonymous,
Sorry for the late response. Did you mean to use python to connect/manage Azure VM? If that is the case, you can refer to the following documents:

HI Anonymous,
>>i understand i can't write to the azure fn directory -- but im wondering how its possible to work around this if its in a library im calling -- maybe create a blob storage for this "filename" -- will have to keep digging into it
Yes, detect the physical file/directory path operations on business cloud servers should be a pain to process.
AFAIK, these types of operations almost blocked by permissions, policy, and security reasons except you are working on personal servers.
One workaround is to use a temporary server/service which you have enough permissions to manage and configurations to do these sensitive operations. (azure side do simple read/write operations)
Steps:
Azuree Server:
1. Common operate
2. Common operate
3. Common operate
Azure server to temporary server:
1. Sensitive operations
2. Loading result data to Azure Server
Azuree Server:
4. Common operate
5. Common operate
6. Common operateRegards,

hi Anonymous ,
great, do you think I'll be able to use a non-azure Windows VM? if so, I'd appreciate documentation / examples -- seems like we might need VNet integration?
HI Anonymous,
In fact, this temporary server/service not has limits on device types.
You can even deploy these on your personal laptop/PC if you can confirm it worked online and has permission to receiver these remote operations and requests.😊Notice:
Above is a sample, you can use it to do tests but please not really deploy it to your personal laptops. It is are hard to confirm their status(device hardware, network, and power status) and keep working online every time.

Hi Anonymous,
Normally you can do these with two methods, connect with RDP(Remote Desktop Protocol) or deploy web service on your device.
For your scenario, I think web service should suitable for your requirement.
