Build AWS Lambda deployment packages (zip files) for Python projects

paketoi

Paketoi is a command-line tool for building AWS Lambda deployment packages (zip files) for Python projects.

Assumptions

• The dependencies for your project are specified in a requirements.txt file.

Installation

pipx install paketoi

Usage

The basic usage is:

paketoi -r <path to requirements.txt> <path to output file>

You can find all the command-line options with paketoi --help.

The source code is assumed to reside in the working directory.

Simple layout

.
├── lambda_function.py
└── requirements.txt

With the project layout like above, you can build a deployment package lambda.zip like this:

paketoi -r requirements.txt lambda.zip

src layout

.
├── requirements.txt
├── src
│  └── lambda_function.py

When your lambda source is under the directory src, use -s src to set the source root.

paketoi -r requirements.txt -s src lambda.zip

Excluding files

.
├── requirements.txt
├── lambda_function.py
└── tests
   └── lambda_function_test.py

You can exclude files you do not need by using -E path. For example:

paketoi -r requirements.txt -E tests lambda.zip
