title: Create a Python deployment package for Lambda on Windows
body: <p>I need to create a Python deployment package for Lambda.</p>
  
  <p>I notices that I cannot just pip -l ... the requirements I need and then ZIP the folder. Rather, I have to do it on an EC2 instance, and use the resulting folder instead (which contains other binaries that Windows pip does not install, e.g. scipy.libs\libopenblasp-r0-39a31c03.2.18.so for Scipy).</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is there a way to create a deployment package on Windows?</li>
  <li>If not, can I use some other Linux variants (other than Amazon Linux)?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
