Cannot use Requests-Module on AWS Lambda

by

EDIT: On Oct-21-2019 Botocore removed the vendored version of requests: https://github.com/boto/botocore/pull/1829.

EDIT 2: (March 10, 2020): The deprecation date for the Lambda service to bundle the requests module in the AWS SDK is now January 30, 2021. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/upcoming-changes-to-the-python-sdk-in-aws-lambda/

To use requests module, you can simply import requests from botocore.vendored. For example:

from botocore.vendored import requests

def lambda_handler(event, context):
   response = requests.get("https://httpbin.org/get", timeout=10)
   print(response.json())

you can see this gist to know more modules that can be imported directly in AWS lambda.
