I am trying to create a lambda function that will use GDAL libraries. I am working within a virtualenv on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine using Python 3.5. GDAL works fine in the virtual environment until i try to deploy it to lambda. I am following this tutorial, replacing GDAL for NumPy. When i run serverless deploy, I get the following error:
Serverless: Installing requirements of requirements.txt in .serverless…
Serverless: Docker Image: lambci/lambda:build-python3.6
Error --------------------------------------------------

Command “python setup.py egg_info” failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-yo9exd91/pygdal/
For debugging logs, run again after setting the “SLS_DEBUG=*” environment variable.
I already updated setuptools, which didn’t change the error message. I also checked the owner and permissions for the /.cache/pip directory which match my current user. Already tried using this method as well.
If anyone has created lambda functions from serverless using GDAL, any help would be appreciated.
