Run lambda function on local machine

## Prepare development environment

Please use a newly created virtualenv of Python 3.7+.

## Installation

Within virtualenv, run the following command.

``` bash
$ pip install python-lambda-local
```

This will install the package with name `python-lambda-local` in the virtualenv.
Now you can use the command `python-lambda-local` to run your AWS Lambda function written in Python on your own machine.

## Usage as a shell command

Run `python-lambda-local -h` to see the help.

```
usage: python-lambda-local [-h] [-l LIBRARY_PATH] [-f HANDLER_FUNCTION]
[-t TIMEOUT] [-a ARN_STRING] [-v VERSION_NAME]
[-e ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES] [--version]
FILE EVENT

Run AWS Lambda function written in Python on local machine.

positional arguments:
FILE lambda function file name
EVENT event data file name

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-l LIBRARY_PATH, --library LIBRARY_PATH
path of 3rd party libraries
-f HANDLER_FUNCTION, --function HANDLER_FUNCTION
lambda function handler name, default: "handler"
-t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
seconds until lambda function timeout, default: 3
-a ARN_STRING, --arn-string ARN_STRING
ARN string for lambda function
-v VERSION_NAME, --version-name VERSION_NAME
lambda function version name
-e ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES, --environment-variables ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES
path to flat json file with environment variables
--version print the version of python-lambda-local and exit
```

### Prepare development directory

#### Project directory structure

Suppose your project directory is like this:

```
├── event.json
├── lib
│   ├── rx
│   │   ├── abstractobserver.py
│   │   ├── ... (package content of rx)
...
│   │   └── testscheduler.py
│   └── Rx-1.6.1.dist-info
│   ├── DESCRIPTION.rst
│   ├── METADATA
│   ├── metadata.json
│   ├── pbr.json
│   ├── RECORD
│   ├── top_level.txt
│   ├── WHEEL
│   └── zip-safe
└── test.py
```

The handler's code is in `test.py` and the function name of the handler is `handler`.
The source depends on 3rd party library `rx` and it is installed in the directory `lib`.
The test event in json format is in `event.json` file.

#### Installing `rx` library in `lib/`

``` bash
pip install --target lib rx==1.6.1
```

#### Content of `test.py`:

``` python
from __future__ import print_function
from rx import Observable

def handler(event, context):
xs = Observable.from_(range(event['answer']))
ys = xs.to_blocking()
zs = (x*x for x in ys if x % 7 == 0)
for x in zs:
print(x)
```

#### Content of `event.json`:

``` json
{
"answer": 42
}
```

#### Run the lambda function

Within the project root directory, you can run the lambda function with the following command

```
python-lambda-local -l lib/ -f handler -t 5 test.py event.json
```

The output will be like:

```
[root - INFO - 2018-11-20 17:10:53,352] Event: {'answer': 42}
[root - INFO - 2018-11-20 17:10:53,352] START RequestId: 3c8e6db4-886a-43da-a1c7-5e6f715de531 Version:

[root - INFO - 2018-11-20 17:10:53,359] END RequestId: 3c8e6db4-886a-43da-a1c7-5e6f715de531
[root - INFO - 2018-11-20 17:10:53,360] REPORT RequestId: 3c8e6db4-886a-43da-a1c7-5e6f715de531 Duration: 2.17 ms
[root - INFO - 2018-11-20 17:10:53,360] RESULT:
None
```

## Usage as a library

### API signature

``` python
call(func, event, context, environment_variables={})
```

Call a handler function `func` with given `event`, `context` and custom `environment_variables`.

### Sample

1. Make sure the 3rd party libraries used in the AWS Lambda function can be imported.

``` bash
pip install rx==1.6.1
```

2. To call the lambda function above with your python code:

``` python
from lambda_local.main import call
from lambda_local.context import Context

import test

event = {
"answer": 42
}
context = Context(5)

if __name__ == '__main__':
call(test.handler, event, context)
```
