Example Python program list_aws_lambda_modules.py Python version 3.x or newer. To check the Python version use:

python --version

Modules

• from future import print_function
• import imp, sys, os, re, time, json
• import pkgutil, importlib
• import platform

• check that this extension can be imported

• import(m)
• imported_module = importlib.import_module(name)
• ver = getattr(imported_module, 'version', '')

Methods

• def get_suffix(file):
• def getmodules(p):
• def getpath():
• def cb(p, site_package_path=os.path.abspath(p)):
• def cb(p, cwd=os.path.normcase(os.getcwd())):
• def lambda_handler(event, context):
• def cb(m):
• def less_verbose():
