AWS Lambda pinecone-client package "No module named 'numpy.core._multiarray_umath'" error

Question

Experiencing "No module named 'numpy.core._multiarray_umath'" importing pinecone-client python package in AWS Lambda python 3.11 runtime. I'm created the lambda layer on AWS Cloud-9 AWS Linux environment with pinecone-client 2.2.4 version and numpy1.24.4 version automatically installed as dependency.

Following are the error text

[ERROR] Runtime.ImportModuleError: Unable to import module 'app': 

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.

Please note and check the following:

  * The Python version is: Python3.11 from "/var/lang/bin/python3.11"
  * The NumPy version is: "1.24.4"

and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.

Original error was: No module named 'numpy.core._multiarray_umath'

1. I have reinstalled both the setuptools package and numpy package as per previous issues. The error is not resolved and the error message remains unchanged.
2. I have also verified the environment and runtime match the lambda environment. The outcome is positive.

Answer 1

Check if there are multiple versions of Python in your environment, and make sure to install the module with the corresponding pip.
