using Python 3 with AWS lambda

Question

Can one use application built with Python3 in lambda, and not just python2.7. Possibly looking at options around - https://gun.io/blog/announcing-zappa-serverless-python-aws-lam

Answer 1

Python 3.6 is now available in Ohio! (us-east-2)

I ran:

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    # TODO implement
    return sys.version

And it kicked back:

"3.6.1 (default, Mar 27 2017, 23:56:45) \n[GCC 4.9.3]"
