It implements the Lambda Runtime API, enabling you to package Python Lambda functions in custom Docker container images rather than relying on AWS-managed runtimes. You install it in your Dockerfile, set it as the entrypoint, and point it to your handler function; the package then manages the communication protocol between your code and the Lambda service.\n\nThe package supports Python 3.9 through 3.13 and is distributed as pre-built wheels for common Linux architectures (x86_64 and aarch64, both glibc and musl variants). It has two runtime dependencies: simplejson and snapshot-restore-py. The package is actively maintained by AWS, with no known security vulnerabilities, and is suitable for production use.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is the official, actively maintained AWS package required to run Python Lambda functions in custom container images. It has no known vulnerabilities, supports current Python versions, carries a permissive Apache-2.0 license, and is production-stable. Install it if you are building containerized Lambda functions; it is not needed for Lambda functions deployed as .zip archives using AWS-managed runtimes."},"id":"awslambdaric","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/awslambdaric","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/awslambdaric.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/awslambdaric/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"awslambdaric","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"AWS Lambda Runtime Interface Client for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3182421,"position":2709,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.0.2"}
