title: Testing Python "Hello World" in AWS Lambda
body: <p>I will apologies first hand if my question formatting is messed up. A noob programmer here  </p>
  
  <p>I was following steps defined in the AWS Lambda Developer Guide to run the Hello World code. Ref Page 44  </p>
  
  <pre><code>def my_handler(event, context):
      message = 'Hello {} {}!'.format(event['first_name'],
                                      event['last_name'])
      return {
          'message' : message
  }     
  </code></pre>

  <p>I believe my error is that the code is looking for events but the input test event on the test page is providing 3 key values which have no relation to my code. </p>
