08/05/2021, 10:46 AMDo you mean using python lambdas or using the cdk in python

08/05/2021, 10:47 AMIf it's the former we support python: https://docs.serverless-stack.com/constructs/Function#python-runtime

08/05/2021, 10:48 AMI should have been more specific, I'm using Layers with Python, and have not been able to find any info about those. As for CDK I'm aware its JS and TS only at the moment.

08/05/2021, 11:39 AMMy question is more that I have a custom layer that I would like to deploy and not sure how to go about it with SST. There's an explanation with an example in JS but nothing about Python.

If you're looking at how to create a python layer you can see an example at the bottom of this page: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/aws-lambda-python-readme.html

These add js code but these examples aren't js specific. You can use this to create a layer containing any code

Hey @Hubert, did you manage to get the Python layer to work?
