Unable to import module 'app': No module named 'requests' - Hello World example

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Trying to invoke the AWS Sam Helloworld example using the plugin fails.

If I unzip the package file in the temp folder I can see that indeed the requests package was not installed correctly in the package.

To reproduce

Start a new AWS SAM Project
Click on Lambda icon next to function handler
Click on Run or Debug
Error shows up in Console

Expected behavior Function should be invoked after compiling the requirements correctly.

I think the issue here is that the error message is wrong. I found I was able to resolve this when I removed the following from my Python Lambda function:

import requests

Note that I am getting the same type of error on Windows 10, and I HAVE installed the required package, boto3, for my sample function:

So what’s the workaround for someone in my position?
