s3-deployment using Python 3.6 and AWS drops support for that runtime.

[baraksalomon]

Hello,

s3-deployment API is implemented by Lambda using Python 3.6 runtime.

AWS announced that "Starting July 18, 2022, Lambda will no longer apply security patches and other updates to the Python 3.6 runtime used by Lambda functions, and functions using Python 3.6 will no longer be eligible for technical support. In addition, you will no longer be able to create new Lambda functions using the Python 3.6 runtime. Starting August 17, 2022, you will no longer be able to update existing functions using the Python 3.6 runtime."

is there any plan to mitigate this?

Thanks,
Barak.

I took a close look and it seem like s3-deployment actually uses Python 3.7 now.
it seems like a documentation issue.
Here it says 3.6 is used but I guess its old: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v1/docs/aws-s3-deployment-readme.html#development
the test actually runs in a docker container and Lambda uses aws-cli from a lambda-layer

I've put in a fix for this here. Thanks for reporting this 🙂
