How to correctly include a non-py (.png) file into the binary, though it correctly works running locally? I am getting this error after deploying on lambda

repo link for reference.

You would use a

resource

target to include the

.png

file.

Thanks @fast-nail-55400, this worked, but now I am stuck at the original problem. My monorepo has a structure like this.

projects/<proj1>/apps/<app1>/assets/<file.png>

$ ./pant roots
.
projects

so while opening the image in

projects/<proj1>/apps/<app1>/helper.py

with open("projects/proj1/apps/app1/assets/file.png") as f:
  f.read()

this works fine locally, but breaks on lambda (file not found) - possibly cuz the projects is the root of the repo which not the related to the lambda package. I tried changing in

projects/<proj1>/apps/<app1>/helper.py

to:

with open("proj1/apps/app1/assets/file.png") as f:
  f.read()

this works in lambda, but won't work locally. How to set this up so that it works both ways without changing code?

You probably need to load the file as a resource using pkgutil or similar, rather than using "open".

This worked. Thanks @happy-kitchen-89482.

Great!
