Problem for me was than Python version installed in my Docker container was `FROM python:3.9-slim-buster` but in serverless.yml provider referenced `runtime: python3.8` changed container version to `FROM python:3.8-slim-buster` and happy thereafter (quite slow deployment though) ---

Problem for me was resolved when I changed the python version to 3.6 ---

I also solved it, seems you can not use python 3.10 to run the plugin. I recorded the steps in case I need to review on the future, here they are in case someone is stuck: [Setup Plugin Serverless Python Requirements - YouTube](https://youtu.be/giDgwfA2_aw) ---

I also got this and resolved in a similar way. It’s a real shame we can’t use python 3.10 to run the plugin even if the runtime of the function itself is a supported version like 3.8 etc. After I resolved this I then spent ages grappling with this for ages as well! [serverless deploy -\> Exited with code 1 · Issue #663 · serverless/serverless-python-requirements · GitHub](https://github.com/serverless/serverless-python-requirements/issues/663) I think there is a problem with the Docker image for python 3.8. I got it working by setting dockerizePip to false ---

Hi @MagicJF I am also expecting such video for perfect solution. Thanks
