A better Python template for serverless
This repo is intended as a better alternative to the built-in AWS Python templates in serverless.
This template includes a few of my favorite things for working with Python & Serverless:
It also has a tweaked serverless.yml
file featuring:
${AWS::AccountId}
CloudFormation-style variables$ # if you don't have them installed, ensure you have serverless & pipenv
$ npm i -g serverless ; pip install pipenv
$ # Clone the template using the
$ serverless create -u https://github.com/dschep/sls-py-tmpl -n project-name
Serverless: Downloading and installing "sls-py-tmpl"...
Serverless: Successfully installed "project-name"
$ cd project-name
$ # Create virtualenv and install dependencies
