Pandas & AWS Lambda

Question

Does anyone have a fully compiled version of pandas that is compatible with AWS Lambda?

After searching around for a few hours, I cannot seem to find what I\'m looki

Answer 1

Another option is to download the pre-compiled wheel files as discussed on this post: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/lambda-python-package-compatible/

Essentially, you need to go to the project page on https://pypi.org and download the files named like the following:

• For Python 2.7: module-name-version-cp27-cp27mu-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
• For Python 3.6: module-name-version-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl

Then unzip the .whl files to your project directory and re-zip the contents together with your lambda code.

NOTE: The main Python function file(s) must be in the root folder of the resulting deployment package .zip file. Other Python modules and dependencies can be in sub-folders. Something like:

my_lambda_deployment_package.zip
├───lambda_function.py
├───numpy
│   ├───[subfolders...]
├───pandas
│   ├───[subfolders...]
└───[additional package folders...]
