Unable to import modules from aws lambda layer

I have a requirements file for my pip packages. I installed it in a target folder and zipped the contents and uploaded it on AWS lambda layer.

Requirements.txt

asgiref==3.2.3
certifi==2019.11.28
chardet==3.0.4
cloudevents==0.2.4
decorator==4.4.1
Django==3.0
idna==2.8
jaeger-client==4.2.0
jsonpath-ng==1.4.3
pbr==5.4.4
ply==3.11
pytz==2019.3
requests==2.22.0
six==1.13.0
sqlparse==0.3.0
urllib3==1.25.7
aws-xray-sdk
mysql-connector-python
gunicorn

I used the command pip3 install -r requirements.txt -t python/ where python is the target directory. This image shows the content of python directory. enter image description here

After this I zipped the content of this directory and published it as a layer on aws lambda. I made a dummy lambda function to check if the layer is working or not.

import json
import django

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    # TODO implement
    return {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'body': json.dumps('Hello from Lambda!')
    }

The log file error :

Response:
{
  "errorMessage": "Unable to import module 'lambda_function'"
}

Request ID:
"66ce85e0-59f0-4e5c-98f9-6fa3e3eb17d0"

Function Logs:

If layer would suite you, I can let you know that I just successful constructed a django layer based on your requirements.txt file which could be imported in lambda.

To build the layer I used lambci/lambda tool. To ease the process, I used the following snippet from here.

The layer had 42 MB which is close to the 50 MB limit of lambda.

If you don't want to use layer, you can also use the same docker tool to build regular deployment package as explained in the recent AWS blog:

  • How do I create a Lambda layer using a simulated Lambda environment with Docker?

Since layer works, including django in a regular package should also work.

You mention that you 'zipped the content of this directory' referring to the python folder. When you create a layer via a .zip package, python packages need to be in a 'python' folder subdirectory. They can not be all at the root of the zipped folder.
