I have write a python script based on a linux version python package "pdq", the script works fine on local machine. But I am looking to upload the script to Azure platform. Since Azure environment dose not support "pdq" package, is there any way I could install the python package on the Azure platform and make my script works?

As @DavidMakogon said, your description is not clear, there is not any information about which azure service you used. I searched & reviewed some introduction about pdq, there is not any existing pdq wheels package which can be directly installed on Windows, and it's not offical supported on Windows. So whatever azure services like WebApps based on Windows, you could not simply install it via the pip command tool or setup.py.
If you have to install it on Azure WebApps/CloudService, you need to manually compile it via some Linux-Compatible compiler toolchain on Windows, such as MinGW. There was some people who had tried to compile pdq on Windows. you can try to refer to Installing PDQ on windows to do it, although the trial seems not to be completed completely. Meanwhile, if you can compile it successfully on Windows, you need to refer to the Azure offical document of Troubleshooting - Package Installation for Python to build your own pdq wheels file for installing on Azure, because Azure not support compiling for C/C++ source code online.
The workaround ways for installing pdq is using Azure Linux VM to do it, or using Azure Container Service which also is a good choice.
Hope it helps.
