Passing AWS Lambda Function parameters using the ClientContext object in Python

Boto3 documentation for lambda_client.invoke suggests it is possible to pass data via the ClientContext object as a string.

The string is required to be base64 encoded JSON.

Sending emails from Django during development without using a real SMTP server. Python comes with a very basic and integrated SMTP server. To start it just open a terminal and type: python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025 Then configure your settings.py using the following parameters. You will see the email directly in the terminal …
if DEBUG:
EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost'
EMAIL_PORT = 1025
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_USE_TLS = False
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'testing@example.com'
