hi hi  
Does anyone have a zip file for a python: confluent client / import that they know works…  
Python 3.9  
I’ve followed multiple examples and keep ending with the same result:  
“errorMessage”: “Unable to import module ‘lambda\_function’: No module named ‘confluent\_kafka.cimpl’”,  
or  
“errorMessage”: “Unable to import module ‘lambda\_function’: No module named ‘confluent\_kafka’”,  
CONFLUENT: would really be great if this was available as a useable ARN based layer.

Hi guys…

Got the python import eventually to work…

Resolution was to build a EC2 instance, install python 3.9.16, create virtual env, install libraries =2.1.1 , zip libraries… upload as a layer.

Initially used a EC2 instance I had, build on Ubuntu, did not work, had to spin a new EC2 using amazon Linux (as that is what Lambda’s use). Worked.

Now to dig a hole through our firewalls to get outside onto the cluster.

If anyone needs these libraries, happy to share.

I am also trying to import confluent\_kafka and followed the steps below:

```auto
python3.9 -m venv aws_layer_creation
source aws_layer_creation/bin/activate
mkdir -p streamer_lib/python/lib/python3.9/site-packages
pip install confluent_kafka -t streamer_lib/python/lib/python3.9/site-packages/
deactivate
sudo rm -rf aws_layer_creation
cd streamer_lib/
zip -r9 ../streamer_lib.zip python

```

Created Layer using the above created zip file.  
Getting the below error:

```auto
Unable to import module 'lambda_function': /lib64/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /opt/python/lib/python3.9/site-packages/confluent_kafka/../confluent_kafka.libs/librdkafka-36eea7b5.so.1)

```

Can you please share the zip file with me?
