title: AWS Lambda not importing Asyncio
body: <p>So I'm working on making an application for making Reddit API calls and it seems like Lambda isn't liking how I import asyncio. I installed asyncio in a package folder using "pip install asyncio -t ." and then zipped that folder up with my project file. And I'm importing asyncio in the project file (import asyncio). However, every time I try to test my Alexa application in the Alexa Developer Console, the application won't run until I've gotten rid of the import statement.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the message I get when I try to test: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>{   "errorMessage": "Syntax error in module 'reddit_alexa_py': invalid
    syntax (base_events.py, line 296)",   "errorType":
    "Runtime.UserCodeSyntaxError",   "stackTrace": [
        "  File \"/var/task/asyncio/base_events.py\" Line 296\n            future = tasks.async(future, loop=self)\n"   ] }</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and here's the log output: </p>
  
  <blockquote>

  <p>This is happening with other things I try to import, too. I think I'll need to import these packages in order to finish this project, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>
