Running python with boto2 as an AWS Lambda function

Question

I am using a python script from github to run on AWS lambda. I realized that the import boto statements are not working while running inside lambda. Is there way to instruct lambda to load boto2 as well?

Answer 1

OK, all I had to do was install boto using "pip install module-name -t /path/to/project-dir" per the docs: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-python-how-to-create-deployment-package.html

Then zipped the files needed for lambda and uploaded.
