I have been struggling to get past this error

The extra weird thing is if I start python in anaconda prompt and simply try to import get_client or orjson it doesn't error, but running a python file it does.

Hi Nathaniel. Sounds like an environment configuration issue. Are you running the python file from a terminal where you are in a conda environment?

ok, so the main place I have been seeing this error is from AWS lambda. when I run the file solo in my anaconda environment it doesn't error, and when I run it on anaconda from the folder that is going into the lambda it errors. however the folder structure of the lambda looks identical to my anaconda environment.

Gotcha the lambda function needs access to the Python packages. Are those installed in the lambda environment? Also, here’s a guide that uses Lambda and more that you might find helpful.
