Packager assumes Python2.7 #142

Right now the Packaging method looks for python2.7 in the virtualenv site packages. Since AWS Lambda now supports Python 3 we should update the code so Python3 Lambda Packages can be created as well.

This bit me yesterday.

Runtime was set Python3.6 and it worked fine for several releases since many packages can be imported by python2 or 3, then I added a couple that had issues. I assumed I was building using python3, but I had just been getting lucky.

Changing the .json runtime to Python2.7 or hacking the hardcoded site-packages locations to point to 3.6 fixed the problems. I tried specifying --no-virtualenv or --virtualev=/path/python3/virtualenv which I thought would fix the issue, but had no luck. I wasn't very methodical about that, so I might not have had everything set up properly.

Now that lambda supports two python runtimes, should the packaging step indicate to the user which it is building for?
