azure-functions-core-tools: ImportError: cannot import name 'cygrpc' - when using 32-bit python

func --version: 2.7.1480 Windows: 10 VScode: 1.36.1 Python (Anaconda): 3.6.8 Region: Europe

I am trying to create a simple Python function in VScode and would like to test it locally. However, when running func host start, I get the following error:

_cpython directory contains the following:

__init__.py
__pycache__/
_credentials/
_cygrpc/
cygrpc.cp36-win_amd64.pyd*

My function is a simple BlobTrigger:

import logging
import azure.functions as func

def main(myblob: func.InputStream):
    logging.info(f"Python blob trigger function processed blob \n"
                 f"Name: {myblob.name}\n"
                 f"Blob Size: {myblob.length} bytes")

Thanks!
