(aws_lambda_python.PythonFunction): docker in docker fails

aws_lambda_python.PythonFunction fails at running bundling a python function with requirements.txt

Reproduction Steps

1. Create python function:

        function = _lambda_python.PythonFunction(
                self, 
                "lambda_function",
                runtime=_lambda.Runtime.PYTHON_3_7,
                handler="main",
                entry="./lambda",
                index="lambda-handler.py"
        )

1. Run cdk synth

What did you expect to happen?

Not error out? 😃

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Having the same issue when running cdk synth within GitHub Actions. I’ve been searching for a solution for days now.
