Lambda Init failure with "NameError: name 'long' is not defined"

Question

Lamba init fails with following error:

```
[ERROR] NameError: name 'long' is not defined
Traceback (most recent call last):

    int = long(hex, 16)
```

Portions of Lambda import are:
```
import requests
import json
import boto3, os
from botocore.exceptions import BotoCoreError, ClientError

```
Intent is to use the SQS client, read message and delete message in Lambda function. With the init failure, am not able to read message and process it in Lambda. 
Help in resolving this is much appreciated

I've included a layer that has requests package needed for some functionality in lambda

Hello.

There appears to be no problem with the module import part.  
The problem is probably somewhere else, so could you please share the entire code?

By the way, the error message says:  
I think Python3 needs to use "int" instead of "long".  
You probably have the following part in your code, so try changing long to int.  
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.0.html#integers  
```
int = long(hex, 16)
```
Try changing it as below.  
```
int = int(hex, 16)
```
