Description

https://github.com/jorgebastida/gordon/blob/master/examples/docker/helloworld/settings.yml

Just wondering if you have a issue opened already regarding still needing pip support?

I'm interested in using this tool and having ability to build the Python lambdas in environment that is near identical to the lambda env that it runs (especially if a pip install requires some dependent machine specific install which may need machine dependent library support outside of pip - for example, the pymssql package (so lambda can read/write to SQL Server based RDS database) is good use case that depends on FreeTDS which is pre-requisite machine specific installation needed before doing pip install pymssql - http://pymssql.org/en/latest/intro.html.
