Trying to install version 0.1.0.post1 but not available on Azure App Service

Hi,

I am using kaleido==0.1.0.post1 (which works on local) in my python plotly dash web app and deploying this on Azure App Service with the configuration of the app service as:

python: 3.12.6
pip: 24.2

And I am getting this error when deploying on Azure, which seems like it can't find this version:

ERROR: No matching distribution found for kaleido==0.1.0.post1
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement kaleido==0.1.0.post1 (from versions: 0.0.1rc3, 0.0.1rc4, 0.0.1rc5, 0.0.1rc6, 0.0.1rc8, 0.0.1rc9, 0.0.1, 0.0.2, 0.0.3, 0.0.3.post1, 0.1.0a2, 0.1.0a3, 0.1.0, 0.2.0rc1, 0.2.0, 0.2.1, 0.4.0rc1, 0.4.0rc2, 0.4.0rc3, 0.4.0rc4, 0.4.0rc5, 1.0.0rc0)

Out of all these version I have tried 0.2.0, 0.2.1 and both of these are leading to hang state. I have also tried 0.1.0 and this gives me an error of:

ValueError:
The kaleido executable is required by the kaleido Python library, but it was not included
in the Python package and it could not be found on the system PATH.

Searched for included kaleido executable at:
    C:\Code\python.pptx.tester\.venv\Lib\site-packages\kaleido\executable\kaleido

And as I have opted to use version 1.0.0rc0 in the meantime, I am getting this when using the deployed web app:

Kaleido now requires that chrome/chromium is installed separately. Kaleido will try to detect it automatically, but the environmental error "BROWSER_PATH" can also be set.

What can I do to fix this issue (above)?

Is there any fix that I can do to deploy my app and use kaleido for static image rendering in the meantime until Kaleido2 is out? This would be very helpful, thanks!

My requirements.txt:

dash==2.17.0
numpy==1.26.4
pandas==2.1.4
dash-mantine-components==0.14.4
dash-ag-grid==31.2.0
python-dotenv==1.0.1
dash-iconify==0.1.2
dash-bootstrap-components==1.6.0
pyspark==3.5.1
pytz==2024.1
scipy==1.14.0
azure-monitor-opentelemetry==1.6.4
opentelemetry-api==1.28.1
opentelemetry-sdk==1.28.1
msal==1.30.0
python-pptx==1.0.2
# kaleido==0.1.0.post1
kaleido==1.0.0rc0

Lastly, code snippet:

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import pandas as pd
from base64 import b64encode
import plotly

def plotting_function():
    fig = go.Figure()

    # Some scatter plotting etc.

    if save:
        img_bytes = fig.to_image(format="jpeg")
        encoding = b64encode(img_bytes).decode()
        img_b64 = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + encoding
        return img_b64
    else:
        return fig

Start with the requirements.txt versions and the plotting_function call to fig.to_image, then reproduce the reported installation and runtime errors on Azure App Service with Python 3.12.6. Compare the available Kaleido packages and deployment environment, and consider the work done when static image rendering runs reliably in the deployed app with a documented supported configuration.
