prefect.client.get_client imports orjson and I am having a hard time putting that in a lambda. This is the file structure I am looking at, this will eventually be all zipped up and put in an AWS lambda.

root
├── orjson
|   ├── __pycache__
|   ├── __init__.py
|   ├── __init__.pyi
|   ├── orjson.cp39-win_amd64.pyd
|   └── py.typed
└── service.py

In service.py I am trying to import import prefect.client that then imports orjson

import orjson

This is what init.py looks like

from .orjson import *

__doc__ = orjson.__doc__
if hasattr(orjson, "__all__"):
    __all__ = orjson.__all__

however importing orjson throws this error:

File "C:\work\testing_service\sand02-cumulus-pipeline\service.py", line 7, in <module>
    from prefect.client import get_client
  File "C:\work\testing_service\sand02-cumulus-pipeline\prefect\__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    from prefect.orion.schemas.states import State
  File "C:\work\testing_service\sand02-cumulus-pipeline\prefect\orion\schemas\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

    from prefect.orion.schemas.data import DataDocument

    from prefect.orion.utilities.schemas import PrefectBaseModel
  File "C:\work\testing_service\sand02-cumulus-pipeline\prefect\orion\utilities\schemas.py", line 12, in <module>
    import orjson
  File "C:\work\testing_service\sand02-cumulus-pipeline\orjson\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .orjson import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'orjson.orjson'

I have no clue why this import doesn't work because if I simply have orjson in an anaconda environment and import it it works fine. Here is init.pyi if that is of any use:

import json
from typing import Any, Callable, Optional, Union

__version__: str

def dumps(
    __obj: Any,
    default: Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]] = ...,
    option: Optional[int] = ...,
) -> bytes: ...
def loads(__obj: Union[bytes, bytearray, memoryview, str]) -> Any: ...

class JSONDecodeError(json.JSONDecodeError): ...
class JSONEncodeError(TypeError): ...

OPT_APPEND_NEWLINE: int
OPT_INDENT_2: int
OPT_NAIVE_UTC: int
OPT_NON_STR_KEYS: int
OPT_OMIT_MICROSECONDS: int
OPT_PASSTHROUGH_DATACLASS: int
OPT_PASSTHROUGH_DATETIME: int
OPT_PASSTHROUGH_SUBCLASS: int
OPT_SERIALIZE_DATACLASS: int
OPT_SERIALIZE_NUMPY: int
OPT_SERIALIZE_UUID: int
OPT_SORT_KEYS: int
OPT_STRICT_INTEGER: int
OPT_UTC_Z: int

In cases like this, it may be useful to print

sys.path

and see how that's different when the import succeeds ("in an anaconda environment") and when it fails. So, right before the failing

from .orjson import *

, just stick

import sys; print(sys.path)

. It may also be useful to add

import os; print(os.environ.get('PYTHONPATH'))

.
