Amazon Lambda Python Library
---
The APIs of higher level constructs in this module are experimental and under active development. They are subject to non-backward compatible changes or removal in any future version. These are not subject to the Semantic Versioning model and breaking changes will be announced in the release notes. This means that while you may use them, you may need to update your source code when upgrading to a newer version of this package.
This library provides constructs for Python Lambda functions.
To use this module, you will need to have Docker installed.
Python Function
Define a PythonFunction:
python.PythonFunction(self, "MyFunction",
entry="/path/to/my/function", # required
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8, # required
index="my_index.py", # optional, defaults to 'index.py'
handler="my_exported_func"
)
All other properties of lambda.Function are supported, see also the AWS Lambda construct library.
Python Layer
You may create a python-based lambda layer with PythonLayerVersion. If PythonLayerVersion detects a requirements.txt
or Pipfile or poetry.lock with the associated pyproject.toml at the entry path, then PythonLayerVersion will include the dependencies inline with your code in the
layer.
Define a PythonLayerVersion:
python.PythonLayerVersion(self, "MyLayer",
entry="/path/to/my/layer"
)
A layer can also be used as a part of a PythonFunction:
python.PythonFunction(self, "MyFunction",
entry="/path/to/my/function",
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8,
layers=[
python.PythonLayerVersion(self, "MyLayer",
entry="/path/to/my/layer"
)
]
)
Packaging
If requirements.txt, Pipfile, uv.lock or poetry.lock exists at the entry path, the construct will handle installing all required modules in a Lambda compatible Docker container according to the runtime and with the Docker platform based on the target architecture of the Lambda function.
Python bundles are only recreated and published when a file in a source directory has changed. Therefore (and as a general best-practice), it is highly recommended to commit a lockfile with a list of all transitive dependencies and their exact versions. This will ensure that when any dependency version is updated, the bundle asset is recreated and uploaded.
To that end, we recommend using [pipenv], [uv] or [poetry] which have lockfile support.
Packaging is executed using the Packaging class, which:
- Infers the packaging type based on the files present.
- If it sees a
Pipfile,uv.lockor apoetry.lockfile, it exports it to a compatiblerequirements.txtfile with credentials (if they're available in the source files or in the bundling container). - Installs dependencies using
piporuv. - Copies the dependencies into an asset that is bundled for the Lambda package.

Excluding source files
You can exclude files from being copied using the optional bundling string array parameter assetExcludes:
python.PythonFunction(self, "function",
entry="/path/to/poetry-function",
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8,
bundling=python.BundlingOptions(
# translates to `rsync --exclude='.venv'`
asset_excludes=[".venv"]
)
)
Including hashes
You can include hashes in poetry using the optional boolean parameter poetryIncludeHashes:
python.PythonFunction(self, "function",
entry="/path/to/poetry-function",
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8,
bundling=python.BundlingOptions(
poetry_include_hashes=True
)
)
Excluding URLs
You can exclude URLs in poetry using the optional boolean parameter poetryWithoutUrls:
python.PythonFunction(self, "function",
entry="/path/to/poetry-function",
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8,
bundling=python.BundlingOptions(
poetry_without_urls=True
)
)
Custom Bundling
Custom bundling can be performed by passing in additional build arguments that point to index URLs to private repos, or by using an entirely custom Docker images for bundling dependencies. The build args currently supported are:
PIP_INDEX_URLPIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URLHTTPS_PROXY
Additional build args for bundling that refer to PyPI indexes can be specified as:
entry = "/path/to/function"
image = DockerImage.from_build(entry)
python.PythonFunction(self, "function",
entry=entry,
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8,
bundling=python.BundlingOptions(
build_args={"PIP_INDEX_URL": "https://your.index.url/simple/", "PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL": "https://your.extra-index.url/simple/"}
)
)
If using a custom Docker image for bundling, the dependencies are installed with pip, pipenv or poetry by using the Packaging class. A different bundling Docker image that is in the same directory as the function can be specified as:
entry = "/path/to/function"
image = DockerImage.from_build(entry)
python.PythonFunction(self, "function",
entry=entry,
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8,
bundling=python.BundlingOptions(image=image)
)
You can set additional Docker options to configure the build environment:
from aws_cdk import DockerVolume
entry = "/path/to/function"
python.PythonFunction(self, "function",
entry=entry,
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8,
bundling=python.BundlingOptions(
network="host",
security_opt="no-new-privileges",
user="user:group",
volumes_from=["777f7dc92da7"],
volumes=[DockerVolume(host_path="/host-path", container_path="/container-path")]
)
)
Custom Bundling with Code Artifact
To use a Code Artifact PyPI repo, the PIP_INDEX_URL for bundling the function can be customized (requires AWS CLI in the build environment):
from child_process import exec_sync
entry = "/path/to/function"
image = DockerImage.from_build(entry)
domain = "my-domain"
domain_owner = "111122223333"
repo_name = "my_repo"
region = "us-east-1"
code_artifact_auth_token = exec_sync(f"aws codeartifact get-authorization-token --domain {domain} --domain-owner {domainOwner} --query authorizationToken --output text").to_string().trim()
index_url = f"https://aws:{codeArtifactAuthToken}@{domain}-{domainOwner}.d.codeartifact.{region}.amazonaws.com/pypi/{repoName}/simple/"
python.PythonFunction(self, "function",
entry=entry,
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8,
bundling=python.BundlingOptions(
environment={"PIP_INDEX_URL": index_url}
)
)
The index URL or the token are only used during bundling and thus not included in the final asset. Setting only environment variable for PIP_INDEX_URL or PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL should work for accessing private Python repositories with pip, pipenv and poetry based dependencies.
If you also want to use the Code Artifact repo for building the base Docker image for bundling, use buildArgs. However, note that setting custom build args for bundling will force the base bundling image to be rebuilt every time (i.e. skip the Docker cache). Build args can be customized as:
from child_process import exec_sync
entry = "/path/to/function"
image = DockerImage.from_build(entry)
domain = "my-domain"
domain_owner = "111122223333"
repo_name = "my_repo"
region = "us-east-1"
code_artifact_auth_token = exec_sync(f"aws codeartifact get-authorization-token --domain {domain} --domain-owner {domainOwner} --query authorizationToken --output text").to_string().trim()
index_url = f"https://aws:{codeArtifactAuthToken}@{domain}-{domainOwner}.d.codeartifact.{region}.amazonaws.com/pypi/{repoName}/simple/"
python.PythonFunction(self, "function",
entry=entry,
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8,
bundling=python.BundlingOptions(
build_args={"PIP_INDEX_URL": index_url}
)
)
Command hooks
It is possible to run additional commands by specifying the commandHooks prop:
entry = "/path/to/function"
python.PythonFunction(self, "function",
entry=entry,
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8,
bundling=python.BundlingOptions(
command_hooks={
# run tests
def before_bundling(self, input_dir):
return ["pytest"],
def after_bundling(self, input_dir):
return ["pylint"]
}
)
)
The following hooks are available:
beforeBundling: runs before all bundling commandsafterBundling: runs after all bundling commands
They all receive the directory containing the dependencies file (inputDir) and the
directory where the bundled asset will be output (outputDir). They must return
an array of commands to run. Commands are chained with &&.
The commands will run in the environment in which bundling occurs: inside the container for Docker bundling or on the host OS for local bundling.
Docker based bundling in complex Docker configurations
By default the input and output of Docker based bundling is handled via bind mounts. In situations where this does not work, like Docker-in-Docker setups or when using a remote Docker socket, you can configure an alternative, but slower, variant that also works in these situations.
entry = "/path/to/function"
python.PythonFunction(self, "function",
entry=entry,
runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_8,
bundling=python.BundlingOptions(
bundling_file_access=BundlingFileAccess.VOLUME_COPY
)
)
Troubleshooting
Containerfile: no such file or directory
If you are on a Mac, using Finch instead of Docker, and see an error like this:
lstat /private/var/folders/zx/d5wln9n10sn0tcj1v9798f1c0000gr/T/jsii-kernel-9VYgrO/node_modules/@aws-cdk/aws-lambda-python-alpha/lib/Containerfile: no such file or directory
That is a sign that your temporary directory has not been mapped into the Finch VM. Add the following to ~/.finch/finch.yaml:
additional_directories:
- path: /private/var/folders/
- path: /var/folders/
Then restart the Finch VM by running finch vm stop && finch vm start.
