Amazon Lambda - unable to make a http json request using python 3.6

Question

What I currently have is something like (endpoints/params are valid, I checked them using another tool)

from urllib import request
...
data = {"name":"abc", "fireDate":"123", "endLocationName":"home"}
request.post("http://someurl.com", json=data)

However, the alexa responds with

there is a problem with the requested skills response

Nothing is outputed on the AWS X-Ray.

There is no urllib.request.post. You are maybe confusing the usage of requests package with the inbuilt urllib library module.

>>> from urllib import request
>>> request.post
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'urllib.request' has no attribute 'post'

You mean like from urllib.request import post?
