Description

Getting the above error when importing the from confluent_kafka.admin import (AdminClient, NewTopic)

How to reproduce

1. Spin up a Amazon Linux EC2 environment
2. Check Python3 Version (3.7.6)
3. create a directory /usr/local/source/sample
4. sudo pip3 install -U confluent-kafka -t python WARNING: Running pip install with root privileges is generally not a good idea. Try pip3 install --user instead.

5. zip the python file as confluent-kafka.zip
6. download the zip file to windows environment
7. Create a AWS Lambda Layer using the zip file

Lambda function (Python 3.9)

Then why are you using Python 3.7 on EC2 to write the code? Also, don't use sudo to run pip, as the error says
Why do you need EC2 if you're going to submit the code to the lambda from Windows?
