Importing any object from the library in an Azure Functions container prevents the container from booting

[johannes-cogitaris]

Hello,

I've come across a rather unusual issue that may not necessarily be tied to BERTopic. I created an Azure Function within a container using the official image. While the container builds and runs flawlessly on my local machine, it fails to start in Azure if any object from this package is imported. Unfortunately, there are no logs to aid in debugging, so I’m currently working in the dark. Do you have any idea what might be within this package that could cause this behavior?

Thanks

We solved this by importing bertopic within the function and not at the top of the file.
