We are trying to move away from VM on Azure. We want to host our python code on a Worker Role. With whatever we have gathered so far it seems we requires a visual studio (VS) on Windows machine in order to deploy(host) the python code on a Worker role.
Most of the developers on our project use Ubuntu for writing python code and hence using VS for deploying the python code on Azure seems a little weird to us.
Is there a way by which we can bypass visual studio and deploy the python code directly from our Ubuntu work stations ?
