Learning how to deploy python3 to Lambda.  
I have followed these instructions and get that working.

> Handling Python dependencies in your Lambda functions can be a pain. Here's how I handle Python packaging with Serverless for dev/prod parity.

I then uninstalled numpy and removed the numpy code from handler.py.  
I installed mysqlclient into my virtual environment.

Now when I try to deploy I get:

Error --------------------------------------------------

Command “python setup dot py egg\_info” failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-aa0yxiyf/mysqlclient/

```
 For debugging logs, run again after setting the "SLS_DEBUG=*" environment variable.                                                     

```

Stack Trace --------------------------------------------

@eric.snyder did you find the workaround or fix this issue? I am getting the same problem while installing MySQL package.
