Unable to import module '[module_name]': /var/task/Crypto/Cipher/_AES.so: invalid ELF header
See original GitHub issueI’m trying to use credstash to retrieve credentials in an aws lambda function e.g.
from credstash import getSecret
password = getSecret(USERNAME)
But I’m getting the following error when the function runs:
Unable to import module '[module_name]': /var/task/Crypto/Cipher/_AES.so: invalid ELF header
I’m not sure what the cause is. My lambda function lives in a virtualenv, and when I deploy I copy the contents of lib/python2.7/site-packages/ into the zip. Do you have any ideas?

The python openssl library brings a shared library along with it. You want to make sure you build your virtualenv on a linux box. If you build it on OSX, the shared library will be build for OSX, not for linux.
