serverless-python-requirements: pycache conflict

I get the following when I try to deploy

Serverless: Parsing Python requirements.txt
Serverless: Installing required Python packages for runtime python3.6...
Serverless: Linking required Python packages...
 
  Error --------------------------------------------------

The situation is caused by both .requirements and my folder containing a pycache folder.

I just tried rm -rf __pycache__ before sls deploy and it fixed the problem, thanx ! That workaround is fine with me but wasn’t clear to me when reading the issue comment log. It may be interesting to mention it in the documentation because AFAIU anybody using Python 3.6 is affected by it.

Yes, pyc is cross platform (but not compatible between versions of python). I think we’d hurt performance quite a bit by not including compiled .pyc files.

Does a pyc made with a Mac OS, or say 32bit linux distro, work on Amazon linux(thus lambda)?

If we want to go down that route, perhaps we should pass ‘–no-compile’ to pip instead to prevent generating the pycache folder in the first case…

Yes, it’s fixed by commit f06b445 as github indicates. It was released in v3.1.1
