Pretty much, yeah, but with a more fleshed out workflow that accounts for dependency bundling as well - you'd have a relatively normal Python app with a setup.py and/or requirements.txt, but be able to readily package the whole thing up for distribution. This kind of thing is *possible* today if you already know what you're doing, and at least the AWS Lambda docs are pretty decent when it comes to describing how to make it work in their (non-zipapp) usage model: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-python-how-to-create-deployment-package.html (I haven't checked the Azure Compute Function docs, and Google Compute Function is currently JavaScript only) However, these kinds of approaches are nowhere near as well fleshed out from an automation perspective as traditional Linux web service deployment - note that there's no mention in the AWS Lambda docs of using a requirements file rather than individual dependency installations.
