pip install python-lambda

mkdir /workspace

Lightweight docker image for running and packaging python-lambda code.

This is based on the super useful python-lambda library:

An example of a usable project can be found in the <example/> directory. This example lambda function

takes a JSON input file like event.json and returns an ASCII-art version of the text.

```$ cd example/

The Dockerfile in the example directory loads the current workspace into the image and installs

dependencies from the requirements.txt file:

```FROM kilna/alpine-aws-python-lambda

To build a docker image called 'example-lambda-image' with the lambda function in it, run:

```$ docker build --tag example-lambda-image .

If you want to execute the lambda function against an event.json input file:

```$ docker run example-lambda-image lambda invoke

If you would like to see if your lambda function builds properly, run:

```$ docker run example-lambda-image lambda build

If you would like to get a ZIP file of the lambda function suitable for uploading to Amazon:

```$ docker run example-lambda-image sh -c 'rm -rf dist* && lambda build 2&>1 >/dev/null && tar -c dist/*.zip' | tar -x -v

FROM kilna/alpine-aws-python-lambda

COPY . /workspace
