Include python dependencies

Hi All,

Two feature suggestions…

Pull in python dependencies Is there any appetite to have a command line option that pulls in python dependencies during the the deploy command?

Separate source and build directories Executing pip install -r requirements.txt -t /path/to/source/ creates a lot of noise in the source directory. It would be great if we could create a separate build directory to create the lambda zip package.

I’ve got some time to spend on this if people think it could be useful.

Cheers,

Anthony.

I worked around this problem by creating a script which: 0. Have source: _build/ in kappa.yml

1. creates a _build directory
2. cp _src/* _build
3. Run the pip install -t command
4. Runs kappa

It would be nice if kappa can do something similar.

Looking at https://github.com/garnaat/kappa/blob/develop/kappa/function.py#L69 seems that dependencies could be installed somewhere else and then listed in the kappa.yml file.

I didn’t try that yet, but can someone confirm if my understanding is correct?
