Serverless: python3.7 not found! Try the pythonBin option

Question

I'm trying to develop a simple serverless app using Serverless framework and Python.

Here's my serverless.yml

service: hello-world

provider:
  name: aws
  region: us-west-2
  runtime: python3.7
  environment:
    DB_ENDPOINT: 
    DB_USERNAME: 
    DB_PASSWORD: 

plugins:
  - serverless-python-requirements

functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.trial_registration

When I run sls deploy I get following error

Serverless: Generated requirements from /home/ganesh/code/hello-world/requirements.txt in /home/ganesh/code/hello-world/.serverless/requirements.txt...
Serverless: Installing requirements from /home/ganesh/.cache/serverless-python-requirements/5c625dc5f843b3bb1163fd11989b43fb3cbca4299219c6ef399108fb36e56a2f_slspyc/requirements.txt ...
Serverless: Using download cache directory /home/ganesh/.cache/serverless-python-requirements/downloadCacheslspyc

Add the following in the custom section:

Answer 2

AWS (Elastic Beanstalk) didn't yet include python3.7 (31/08/2019), try to downgrade your python version to 3.6 and try again.
