How To Download A File In Python

The folder in which pip installs your libraries may be named site-packages or dist-packages. This folder may be located in either the lib/python3.x or lib64/python3.x directory (where python3.x represents the version of Python you are using).
Navigate into the directory containing the dependencies you installed with pip and create a .zip file in your project directory with the installed dependencies at the root. In this example, pip has installed your dependencies in the my_virtual_env/lib/python3.12/site-packages directory.
When you add a dependency to a layer, Lambda extracts this to /opt/python/lib/python3.x/site-packages (where python3.x represents the version of the runtime you're using) or /opt/python. In the search path, these directories have precedence over the directories containing the runtime-included libraries and pip-installed libraries (/var/runtime and /var/lang/lib/python3.x/site-packages). Libraries in function layers therefore have precedence over versions included in the runtime.
If your Lambda function uses the x86_64 instruction set architecture, run the following pip install command to install a compatible wheel in your package directory. Replace --python 3.x with the version of the Python runtime you are using.
