Please see known issue 2 in https://ppe.eng.ms/docs/cloud-ai-platform/azure-core/azure-management-and-platforms/control-plane-bburns/azure-cli-tools-azure-cli-powershell-and-terraform/azure-cli-tools/teams_docs/azcli_docs/azure_cli_on_saw

@bebound I'm trying to use another command (in this case the az functionapp) and I'm still getting the same error even after running the az command in terminal, don't really get what the wiki means on the point 2

I'm running az in terminal and then I run the

az functionapp ...

and I'm still getting the "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ctypes'"

[bebound]

Run az command in Terminal App using PowerShell. That the only valid method.
