AWS Elastic Beanstalk failed to install Python package using requirements.txt Git Pip

Question

I tried to deploy a Flask app on AWS Elastic Beanstalk using eb deploy but failed.

I have the requirements.txt under the app directory:

Flask==0.12.2
numpy==1.13.3
pandas==0.21.1
requests==2.18.4
scipy==1.0.0
Werkzeug==0.12.2
-e git+http://github.com/hensing/PyDDE#egg=PyDDE

And python.config file under .ebextensions directory:

packages:
  yum:
    git: []
    gcc-c++: []
    make: []

The error message is:

INFO: Environment update is starting.

INFO: Deploying new version to instance(s).

ERROR: Your requirements.txt is invalid. Snapshot your logs for details.

ERROR: [Instance: i-03e92fa3c58b6e010] Command failed on instance. Return code: 1 Output: (TRUNCATED)... )

And /var/log/eb-activity.log shows:

It seems like this issue is because of the -e git+ installation is not supported by AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

Answer 1

The problem has been resolved.

It was NOT because of installation of PyDDE.

The actual reason was that installation of Scipy requires > 40MB memory and the default EC2 instance, t1.micro, doesn't have enough memory to install it. It can be resolved by using a larger EC2 instance. I eventually go with t2.medium.

Also, to install Pandas, it requires gcc. I modified .ebextensions\[env_name].config file with this: (I'm using python 2.7, from: elasticbeanstalk gcc and python-devel installation)

packages:
  yum:
    git: []
    gcc-c++: []
    python27-devel: []
