The ask_sdk_core is included in the requirements.txt file of my lambda function. However, the ask_sdk_core does not import when I run the actual function.
I am following the cake walk sample found at
https://github.com/alexa/skill-sample-python-first-skill/tree/master/module-1
but am trying to make the lambda on my personal AWS account instead of the alexa-hosted lambda.
When i point to the Alexa skill to the alexa-hosted skill the skill runs as expected but when pointing to the lambda that i made by copying the code from the alexa skill kit the lambda function does not return any results.
Photos included of lambda on personal AWS account. I have attempted changing multiple values of the names of the different functions but nothing is seeming to work.
