I'm testing Python script in Lambda, it gave me an error:
{
"errorMessage": "Unable to import module 'pythonfilename': No module named 'mysql'",
"errorType": "Runtime.ImportModuleError"
}
How can I fix this? When I tested the script locally I got the same error, but after I upgrade pip to 20.2.2 then pip install mysql-connector this error has been solved locally, how can I solve this issue in Lambda env? Thanks.
You can create a Lambda custom layer with your packages.
To check this solution I created such a layer and can confirm that it works.
The technique used includes docker tool described in the recent AWS blog:
Thus for this question, I verified it as follows:
Create empty folder, e.g. mylayer.
Go to the folder and create requirements.txt file with the content of
boto3==1.14.49
mock==4.0.2
moto==1.3.14
mysql-connector-python==8.0.21
docker run -v "$PWD":/var/task "lambci/lambda:build-python3.8" /bin/sh -c "pip install -r requirements.txt -t python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/; exit"
zip -r -9 mylayer.zip python
Create lambda layer based on mylayer.zip in the AWS Console.
Don't forget to specify Compatible runtimes to python3.8. The layer will
by large, about 48 MB. Thus it would be a good idea to check if you
really need all these packages.
Test the layer in lambda using the following lambda function:
import mysql
def lambda_handler(event, context):
print(dir(mysql))
The function executes correctly:
['__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__']
If you are deploying a function to AWS lambda you need to bundle your dependencies: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/python-package.html#python-package-dependencies
