AWS Lambda Python: 'handler' missing on module

Question

I have a deployment package in the following structure:

my-project.zip
    --- my-project.py
    ------ lambda_handler()

Then I define the handler path in configuration file

my-project.lambda_handler

Get the error:

'handler' missing on module

Can not understand that

Answer 1

I had this issue and had to make sure I had a function called handler in my file, e.g.:

# this just takes whatever is sent to the api gateway and sends it back

def handler(event, context):
    try:
        return response(event, 200)
    except Exception as e:
        return response('Error' + e.message, 400)

def response(message, status_code):
    return message
