==== Custom Environment ====
Create virtual environment.\\
''python3 -m venv ENVIRONMENTNAME''

Enter and activate virtual environment.\\
''cd ENVIRONMENTNAME/lib/python3/site-packages''\\
''source ../../../bin/activate''

Install dependencies and create and test code.\\
''python3 -m pip install DEPENDENCY''\\
''vim CODE.py''\\
''python3 CODE.py''

Cleanup and create zip.\\
''python3 -m pip uninstall setuptools pip''\\
''zip -r ../LAMBDA.zip *''

Now you can create your lambda function and upload the zip file.  Also remember to update the handler to call your primary .py file and initial function.
