zappa deploy fails with import error even though the module is present in the package

Context

I have django project that works locally and in elasticbeanstalk. Now I'm trying to deploy it to AWS lambda using zappa. But I'm getting the following error even though the module urllib3 is present in the package zip.

No module named urllib3: ImportError

I had a similar issue, which persisted until I realised my Lambda environment was running on Python 3.6, while my local running Zappa was 2.7.

Is this issue fixed?
