How do I deploy an directory(or archive)

[RAbraham]

Hi,
Thanks to @yaronha, I'm able to deploy a single file.
How do I deploy a directory or archive? My directory will contain the handler.py and other user modules.
I tried.

import nuclio
spec = nuclio.ConfigSpec(config=spec_data)
nuclio.deploy_file(
        "https://s3.amazonaws.com/fifteenrock-odin/nuclio.zip",
        dashboard_url=dashboard_url, 
        name='a-function10', 
       project=project_name,
        output_dir='./output',
        spec=spec,
        archive=True)

The error I get is

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/myproject/nuclio_lib/nuclio_server.py", line 197, in <module>
    deploy_archive_py(dashboard_url, func_name, project_name, spec_data, "https://s3.amazonaws.com/fifteenrock-odin/nuclio.zip")
  File "/Users/myproject/nuclio_lib/nuclio_server.py", line 119, in deploy_archive_py
    archive=True)
  File "/Users/myproject/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/nuclio/deploy.py", line 69, in deploy_file
    create_project=create_project)
  File "/Users/myproject/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/nuclio/deploy.py", line 107, in deploy_zip
    tag=tag, verbose=verbose, create_new=create_project)
  File "/Users/myproject/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/nuclio/deploy.py", line 197, in deploy_config
    raise DeployError('failed {} {}'.format(verb, name))
nuclio.utils.DeployError: failed creating a-function10

Also, how can I deploy a local zip file? Going through the code, it seems like it needs a remote url?
The S3 link is publicly acccessible.
I added a debug statement and I got this:

{"error":"\nError - Timed out waiting for creation state to be set\nCall stack:\nTimed out waiting for creation state to be set\n"}
