I actually do the same thing. Do the dependency install inside of a docker container in order to build the .zip. This is absolutely essential for compiled libraries in python or anything that involves postgresql. If you attempt to install psycopg on mac and then deploy that on lambda it will fail. So you either need a prebuilt version for ubuntu that you keep around, or you need to build in a docker container. We just build inside a docker container.

Yeah, it works really well, also allows me to configure CI/CD in VSTS/TFS via Windows agents for AWS deploys to Lambda. In the end, I'm pretty pleased with it. I've mostly used Node, but Python binary dependencies would have the same need.

Not entirely sure why I got the downvote, other than the tongue in cheek aspect and "lol" at the end.
