python-layer 1.0.1

Manage aws layers

Python-layer

The python-layer is a script inspired from python-lambda that can help managing aws layers. There are 5 available commands with options.

Requirements

• Python 3
• GNU Linux

Installation

You can create a new virtual environment on your computer and then install python-layer via pypi. pip install python-layer

Getting Started

The script searches in a directory for the requirements.txt file and creates a zip with all the dependencies. If there are .py files, they are included in the zip.

To create a new layer: layer build path/to/mydir

Here we suppose that mydir has at least the requirements file.

To deploy the layer to aws: layer deploy -d myshortdescription --runtime python3.7

To list the available layers: layer list

To set a layer to a lambda function (latest version of the layer): layer set mylayer mylambda

To download a layer layer download mylayer

Notes

• Currently the script uses the credentials from the ~/.aws/config file.
