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.
