Importing pandas throws numpy error (Amplify)

Question

Importing pandas throws numpy error (Amplify)
after Amplify push, the lambda is created but running a test fails with the below error:

`[ERROR] Runtime.ImportModuleError: Unable to import module 'index': Unable to import required dependencies:
numpy: Error importing numpy: you should not try to import numpy from
        its source directory; please exit the numpy source tree, and relaunch
        your python interpreter from there.
Traceback (most recent call last):`

this is how I'm importing pandas in my lambda:
```
import pandas as pd
```

**relevant solutions:**

1. use [aws pandas layers lambda](https://stackoverflow.com/a/69330798) --> I cant use this
2. [download architecture](https://stackoverflow.com/a/72697563) specific binaries --> when I use this command: `pipenv install --platform==manylinux1_x86_64 pandas`, it throws error saying: `pipenv.patched.pip._internal.exceptions.InstallationError: Invalid requirement: '--platform==manylinux1_x86_64'`

how else can i solve this error in my amplify lambda ?

Accepted Answer

the only way I found working is to use the AWS-provided Pandas lambda layer
