Serverless Python Local Module Not Found

Question

I am looking to import my local python module file into my handler file in my serverless project, but despite this local file being located in the parent directory with my handler file it doesn't appear to recognize the module. I am relatively new to the python serverless setup and am wondering if there is something missing about how serverless file importation works.

Here are the files:

/ (parent directory)
data.py
gather_keys_oauth2.py

Error Message:

data.py:

import json
from datetime import timedelta, datetime
import math
import gather_keys_oauth2 as Oauth2
import fitbit

def auth(event, context):

    CLIENT_ID = '*client*'
    CLIENT_SECRET = '*secret*'

    server = Oauth2.OAuth2Server(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET)
    server.browser_authorize()

    ACCESS_TOKEN = str(server.fitbit.client.session.token['access_token'])
    REFRESH_TOKEN = str(server.fitbit.client.session.token['refresh_token'])

    auth2_client = fitbit.Fitbit(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, oauth2=True, access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN, refresh_token=REFRESH_TOKEN)

    print(auth2_client)

    body = {
        "message": "Auth",
        "input": event
    }

    response = {
        "statusCode": 200,
        "body": body['message']
    }

    return response

Are you saying the lambda you deploy doesn't recognise the module or you are seeing the error in your IDE? — AnonymousAlias

Your lambda is not packaging the module you wish to import. You can use serverless-python-requirements plugin for this.

It can be installed locally or on a pipeline with

sls plugin install -n serverless-python-requirements

You can add this to you serverless.yml file and try deploy

# this part might not be needed depending on size of utils
custom:
  pythonRequirements:
    zip: true

# This plugin allows us import dependencies
plugins:
  - serverless-python-requirements

Check out the guide on the plugin here
