Support Python 3.9

[quiver]

AWS Lambda supports Python 3.9 in all regions where Lambda is available from Mid August 2021.

AWS Lambda adds support for Python 3.9

Can you consider to provide 3.9 Layers?

Sure, what region do you need it in?

eu-central-1

Can I throw a vote / request behind us-west-2 ? 🙏 Thank you !

[quiver]

I think supporting all regions as 3.8 from the start will decrease your workload.

Might need to wait for docker.io/lambci/lambda:build-python3.9 to exist

[quiver]

There exists an issue for lambci/lambda:build-python3.9 support.

lambci/docker-lambda#348

Can we now get the support for python 3.9 of this layer is us-east-2?

[revmischa]

We need a docker image to build it with. See lambci/docker-lambda#348
Feel free to send a PR with support for 3.9

The lambci repository has been inactive, but there is a fork with python3.9 support at https://github.com/mLupine/docker-lambda (discussed here lambci/docker-lambda#353 (comment)). Could that be just switched in instead?

That should be sufficient. I've used that specific one for python 3.9 in AWS lambdas w/ successful results

Cool, I invite anyone to fork this and build for 3.9. Open a PR with your lambda layer ARNs.
