-lambda-uploader
-===============
-
-Provides a quick command line utility for packaging and publishing
-Python AWS Lambda functions. This is a work in progress and pull
-requests are always welcome.
-
-Installation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The latest release of lambda-uploader can be installed via pip:
-
-::
-
-    pip install lambda-uploader
-
-An alternative install method would be manually installing it leveraging
-``setup.py``:
-
-::
-
-    git clone https://github.com/rackerlabs/lambda-uploader
-    cd lambda-uploader
-    python setup.py install
-
-Configuration File
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The lambda uploader expects a directory with, at a minimum, your lambda
-function and a ``lambda.json`` file. It is not necessary to set
-requirements in your config file since the lambda uploader will also
-check for and use a requirements.txt file.
-
-Please note that you can leave the ``vpc`` object out of your config if
-you want your lambda function to use your default VPC and subnets. If
-you wish to use your lambda function inside a specific VPC, make sure
-you set up the role correctly to allow this.
-
-Note also the ``ignore`` entry is an array of regular expression strings
-used to match against the relative paths - be careful to quote
-accordingly. For example, a traditional ``*.txt`` "glob" is matched by
-the JSON string: ``".*\\.txt$"`` (or just ``"\\.txt$"``).
-
-Example ``lambda.json`` file:
-
-.. code:: json
-
-    {
-      "name": "myFunction",
-      "description": "It does things",
-      "region": "us-east-1",
-      "runtime": "python2.7",
-      "handler": "function.lambda_handler",
-      "role": "arn:aws:iam::00000000000:role/lambda_basic_execution",
-      "requirements": ["pygithub"],
-      "ignore": [
-        "circle\\.yml$",
-        "\\.git$",
-        "/.*\\.pyc$"
-      ],
-      "timeout": 30,
-      "memory": 512,
-      "vpc": {
-        "subnets": [
-          "subnet-00000000"
-        ],
-        "security_groups": [
-          "sg-00000000"
-        ]
-      },
-      "tracing": {
-        "Mode": "Active"
-      }
-    }
-
-Command Line Usage
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-To package and upload simply run the command from within your lambda
-directory or with the directory as an option.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    lambda-uploader ./myfunc
-
-To specify an alternative profile that has been defined in
-``~/.aws/credentials`` use the ``--profile`` parameter.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    lambda-uploader --profile=alternative-profile
-
-To specify an alternative, prexisting virtualenv use the
-``--virtualenv`` parameter.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    lambda-uploader --virtualenv=~/.virtualenv/my_custom_virtualenv
-
-To omit using a virtualenv use the ``--no-virtualenv`` parameter.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    lambda-uploader --no-virtualenv
-
-To inject any other additional files, use the
-``--extra-file EXTRA_FILE`` parameter.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    lambda-uploader --extra-file ~/stuff_for_lambda_packages
-
-If you would prefer to upload another way you can tell the uploader to
-ignore the upload. This will create a package and leave it in the
-project directory.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    lambda-uploader --no-upload ./myfunc
-
-To publish a version without an alias you would pass the the publish
-flag.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    lambda-uploader -p ./myfunc
-
-If you would like to alias your upload you can pass the alias with the
-alias flag. The function description will be used when an
-alias-description is not provided.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    lambda-uploader --alias myAlias --alias-description 'My alias description' ./myfunc
-
-If you would prefer to build the package manually and just upload it
-using uploader you can ignore the build. This will upload
-``lambda_function.zip`` file.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    lambda-uploader --no-build
