Installing asyncpg on OS Amazon Linux

[StayFoolisj]

Hey I'm planning to use asyncpg as a part of my data pipeline infrastructure. All my pipelines run as AWS Lambda functions which themselves run the OS Amazon Linux. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-runtimes.html

I tried installing asyncpg in this environment, but at runtime I'm getting:

[ERROR] Runtime.ImportModuleError:  No module named 'asyncpg.protocol.protocol'

I'm adding asyncpg as a dependency by creating a Lambda layer as described here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-layers.html

I searched around in issues and elsewhere but failed to find this problem described. Anyone aware of the cause of this and perhaps have a suggestion for workaround?

Lambda requires extra hoops to be jumped through for binary packages. See, e.g. this post

I tried another approach than your example. I spun up a server with Amazon Linux, installed asyncpg there and imported those files to my Lambda function but same error as I posted above. Will debug a bit more, if no success I'll attempt the docker solution in your example link.

Followed the tutorial in your post, this works! Thank you so much :)
