Question

I am trying to import my own module but I am getting error:

Unable to import module 'lambda_function': attempted relative import with no known parent package

Own modulename.py

Answer 1

You import it as if you were to import any other Python module. In other words don't do this:

from .name import *

but do this:

from name import show_name

For example:

The contents of name.py:

def my_name():
    print("Your name goes here.")

Don't forget to Deploy your function after making changes.
