python - install odbc driver to azure app service

Question

I am running a simple Python web app in the Azure app service that needs to acces an Azure SQL database. In order to que an Azure SQL database from python one needs to install the ODBC driver. I have done that at my local machine and it works perfectly. How do I install the ODBC driver at the Azure machine that is running my app or if it is nescessary at all?

Unfortunately, you can't install custom drivers on Azure App Service. You would need an IaaS offering for that. This question has already been asked here.
