Various popular libraries, pre-compiled to be compatible with AWS Lambda.
Currently includes (at least Python 2.7) support for:
* bcrypt
* cffi
* cryptography
* datrie_extended
* LXML
* misaka
* MySQL-Python
* mysqlclient
* numpy
* OpenCV
* Pillow (PIL)
* psycopg2
* PyCrypto
* PyNaCl
* pyproj
* python-ldap
* python-Levenshtein
* regex
* SQLite
* xmlsec
This project is intended for use by [Zappa](https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa), but could also be used by any Python/Lambda project.
## Installation
pip install lambda-packages
## Usage
The best way to use these packages is with [Zappa](https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa), which will automatically install the right packages during deployment, and do a million other useful things. Whatever you're currently trying to do on Lambda, it'll be way easier for you if you just use Zappa right now. Trust me. It's awesome. As a bonus, Zappa now also provides support for [manylinux wheels](https://blog.zappa.io/posts/zappa-adds-support-for-manylinux-wheels), which adds support for hundreds of other packages.
But, if you want to use this project the other (wrong) way, just put the contents of the .tar.gz archive into your lambda .zip.
**lambda-packages** also includes a manifest with information about the included packages and the paths to their binaries.
```python
from lambda_packages import lambda_packages
print lambda_packages['psycopg2']
#{
# 'python2.7': {
# 'version': '2.6.1',
# 'path': '/lambda_packages/psycopg2/python2.7-psycopg2-2.6.1.tar.gz'
# }
#}
```
## Contributing
To add support for more packages, send a pull request containing a gzipped tarball (`tar -zcvf .tar.gz `) of the package (built on Amazon Linux and tested on AWS Lambda) in the appropriate directory, an updated manifest, and deterministic build instructions for creating the archive.
You may find the [build.sh script](https://github.com/Miserlou/lambda-packages/blob/master/lambda_packages/cryptography/build.sh) useful as a starting point.
Before contributing, you should also make sure that there is no `manylinux` wheel on PyPI for your package, as Zappa will automatically use those in addition to `lambda-packages`.
You may also be interested in [this guide on deploying with Zappa and Docker](https://blog.zappa.io/posts/simplified-aws-lambda-deployments-with-docker-and-zappa).
Useful targets which don't have manylinux wheels versions include:
* MongoEngine
