Cannot Import Name ‘cygrpc’
Recently, I had a requirement to create an Azure Function in Python using Visual Studio Code. I have created the Python Azure Function and when I press F5 to run the Azure Function to test it locally to check if the Azure Function is working, Immediately I got the error “ImportError: cannot import name ‘cygrpc'”.
You can see the error as below
Now I have started searching for the fix of this issue, What I came to know is This error occurs when a Python function app fails to start with a proper Python interpreter. Mostly, you will get this error if you have installed 32-bit Python interpreter on your 64-bit operating system.
How you can Check the Python interpreter bitness
Now, We need to check if the Python interpreter bitness is correct or not. To check that,
Open the Windows PowerShell and run the below command
py -c 'import platform; print(platform.architecture()[0])'So, when I ran the command I could able to see that the interpreter is 32 bit whereas the operating system on which I am working is 64 bit. So this is what the root cause of the issue is.

Now To fix this issue, I have followed the below steps

Now, I double click on the exe file that I have downloaded to install in my local system
After I have installed this successfully, I have again click on the Run button to run the Azure Function project in the Visual Studio Code. This time I didn’t get any error. I got the expected OutPut
