I am trying to use python-ldap with AWS Lambda. I downloaded the tarball from : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-ldap
and code to use lambda (lambda_function.py)
from ldap_dir.ldap_query.Lib import ldap
and uploaded the zip to Lambda.
where my directory structure is
ldap_dir -> ldap_query -> Lib -> ldap folder
ldap_dir -> lambda_function.py
Am I missing out something?
python-ldap is built on top of native OpenLDAP libraries. This article - even though unrelated to the python ldap module - describes how to bundle Python packages that have native dependencies.
The outline of this is the following:
yum install -y gcc openldap-devel
virtualenv env
env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install python-ldap
lambda.py
with the following code:import os
import subprocess
libdir = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'local', 'lib')
def handler(event, context):
command = 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH={} python ldap.py'.format(libdir)
subprocess.call(command, shell=True)
ldap.py
:import ldap
print ldap.PORT
ldap.zip
:zip -9 ~/ldap.zip ldap.py
zip -9 ~/ldap.zip lambda.py
cd env/lib/python2.7/site-packages
zip -r9 ~/ldap.zip *
cd ../../../lib64/python2.7/site-packages
zip -r9 ~/ldap.zip *
I hope this helps.
