Creating a deployment package for AWS Lambda for Python is a little different procedure on Mac than Linux. First, I had to create setup.cfg file inside the package directory had to write this on setup.cfg file:

[install]
prefix=

Another thing is that, I had to use

pip install mysql-connector-python-rf -t ~/lambda_folder

instead of

pip install mysql-connector-python -t ~/lambda_folder
