Hi everyone (especially those, who uses a   of HuggingFace+Sagemaker+ServerlessFramework+Lambda).
Since yesterday I tried 20+ options to properly import Sagemaker module to use the HuggingFacePredictor within the Lambda function, but no success. This is why I am asking for help, because I couldn’t find the correct way to make it work (even on serverless.com forums).
Here is what I am trying to do within Lambda:
try:
     print('attempting to unzip_requirements...')
     import unzip_requirements  
     print('succesfully imported unzip_requirements to prepare the zipped requirements')
except ImportError:
     print('failed to import unzip_requirements - if you are running locally this is not a problem')
     pass
...
import sagemaker
from sagemaker.huggingface import HuggingFacePredictor
predictor = HuggingFacePredictor(ENDPOINT_NAME)

Here is the log:
attempting to unzip_requirements...
succesfully imported unzip_requirements to prepare the zipped requirements
...

And this is what is inside requirements.txt
requests == 2.22.0
sagemaker == 2.59.1.post0

Can maybe some one give me a hint, what could help? It looks like I’m failing to import requirements completely…
