title: Test Python Google Cloud Functions locally
body: <p>I'm trying out the Python3.7 runtime on Google Cloud Functions. I am able to deploy the functions and make them work once deployed, however, I can't seem to run the emulator to test them locally before I deploy.</p>
  
  <p>Google's documentation is a little inconsistent where they tell you to install the google functions emulator here: <a href="https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/emulator" rel="noreferrer">https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/emulator</a></p>
  
  <p>But over on Firebase they tell you to <code>npm install</code> firebase-admin, firebase-tools and firebase-functions.</p>
  
  <p>All of the emulator documentation references examples written in JS, none in Python so I'm wondering if these emulator even run Python functions locally?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
