Please refer to my work steps and check if you missed something.

Step 1: Follow the official tutorial to create your azure python web app.

Step 2: Add Python extension.

enter image description here

Step 3: Add web.config file and deploy your web app.

<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="WSGI_HANDLER" value="<your project name>.wsgi.application"/>
    <add key="PYTHONPATH" value="D:\home\site\wwwroot"/>
    <add key="WSGI_LOG" value="D:\home\LogFiles\wfastcgi.log"/>
  </appSettings>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <add name="PythonHandler" path="handler.fcgi" verb="*" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="D:\home\python361x64\python.exe|D:\home\python361x64\wfastcgi.py" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script"/>
    </handlers>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <rule name="Static Files" stopProcessing="true">
          <conditions>
            <add input="true" pattern="false" />
          </conditions>
        </rule>
        <rule name="Configure Python" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="false" />
          <conditions>
            <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/static/.*" ignoreCase="true" negate="true" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Rewrite" url="handler.fcgi/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Step 4: Install pip plugin in your python extension environment.

Step 5: Install django module and other modules you want to use.

Above two steps please refer to my previous case:pyodbc on Azure

Hope it helps you.
