title: Hosting Flask(python) API on Azure API
body: <p>Team, I have been trying to host flask API on Azure API app. And it's not working.</p>
  
  <p>Azure API app is working. Hosting page opens up with python version as 3.6.6.</p>
  
  <p>I am not able to host simple hello world project and different errors I am getting are as follows.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Can't add handlers in web.config. if added 500 error.</p></li>
  <li><p>Can't install flask from kudu. Getting permission error. When installed with --user, flask is installed to user folder. Changed path to include this folder but still can't import flask.</p></li>
  <li><p>Deployed using git. Upload is successful but while deploying, error stating unsupported run time version of python 3.6.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Probably I am missing very basics of setting up python on Azure API app ? Problem is I am always getting 500 error. But basic azure hosting start page works ( unless I touch web.config)</p>
  
  <p>Note : 
   - Followed baby python API tutorial.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Followed instructions given in azure help section</p></li>
  <li><p>Also added python 3.6 extension. Nothing changed.</p></li>
  </ul>
