I have a feeling many of the AWS sample repos will need an audit, and porting over to Python 3.

Just so people see this, and are aware, AWS says this in regard to AWS Lambda Python 2.7 runtime support in relation to the 2.7 EOL:

To allow you additional time to prepare, AWS Lambda will continue to provide critical security patches for the Python 2.7 runtime until at least December 31, 2020. Lambda’s scope of support includes the Python interpreter and standard library, but does not extend to third-party packages.

Is there any update or movement on this? We're only a couple months away from December 31, 2020 and I'd like to stay in-line with the sample lambdas while also not having our rotations stop working. These lambdas are part of Terraform instrumentation and deploying these via the UI for dozens of databases really isn't practical.

All of the Secrets Manager rotation lambdas have been migrated to the Python 3.7 runtime. Resolving this issue.
