pip install on amazonlinux docker container

[refayathaque]

Hi guys, my problem is related to Gary's issue.

We are trying to create an AWS Lambda function that utilizes pshtt. We are using a Docker container (amazonlinux) to get the AWS specific binaries (.so files) we need for the Lambda deployment package. [ We tried this using an Ubuntu container but Lambda wasn't working, and for this we were referencing this article on Medium ]

In our amazonlinux container we are running python 3.6.5 on virtualenv, and are unable to pip install pshtt. We have the latest versions of the pip packages pip10.0.1, setuptools39.1.0, and wheel0.31.0, however when we try doing pip install pshtt we come across this error when pip is collecting publicsuffix - Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-7aa4sbyv/publicsuffix/

We looked into this and a lot of people say that you have to upgrade the setuptools package, and we did.

Any help is greatly appreciated. 🙏

Have you tried using the Lambda function builder that DHS built? https://github.com/dhs-ncats/lambda_functions

I've been using it for pshtt and it's made the packaging process worlds easier.
