How to install pymysql on AWS lambda

Question

I\'ve looked here and here as I\'ve been trying to work out how to get pymysql running on AWS lambda. The examples I\'ve looked at so far are extremely complex,

Answer 1

I was facing similar problem with Redis python library. I follow the same documentation instructions which you mentioned in your second link.

here is example snippet for your reference :

Create new directory MyPythonLambda and put MyPythonLambda.py in the same.

Assume MyPythonLambda/MyPythonLambda.py is main lambda containing handler.

 cd MyPythonLambda/
 pip install redis -t .
 zip -r MyPythonLambda.zip *

Upload/import zip in lambda creation from S3 or your local file system.

I think you need to create zip file in similar way containing your python mysql library.
