Enhancement: Environment Variables

What do you think about adding an .env file into every lambda folder? Sending environment variables can be accomplished after uploading the zip file.

# http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/env_variables.html
aws lambda create-function \
    --region us-east-1
    --function-name myTestFunction
    --zip-file fileb://path/package.zip
    --role role-arn
    --environment Variables={LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/bin/test/lib64}
    --handler index.handler
    --runtime nodejs4.3
    --profile default

This would be a great feature to add. Definitely on the roadmap.

Taking a peak through the code, I think the support is there to translate some local env variables to the lambda instance.

Take a look at this code:

python-lambda/aws_lambda/aws_lambda.py

Lines 364 to 370 in 984eb05

    
           Environment={ 
        
               'Variables': { 
        
                   key.strip('LAMBDA_'): value 
        
                   for key, value in os.environ.items() 
        
                   if key.startswith('LAMBDA_') 
        
               } 
        
           },

If you name a local variable LAMBDA_foo, it should translate to foo in the lambda instance.

That being said, I like the idea of a singular file that handles the variables instead of this method.

Also, I'm unsure of what how these variables are handled upon updates to a function (opposed to the creation of a new function).

This feature has been added and merged to master. It'll be generally available next release. Meanwhile, you can grab it off the master branch.
