Lambda can run arbitrary executables, including a Python3.5 interpreter. Admittedly it's a little silly to have a Py2 script that does nothing but start up Py3, but it's better than cutting and crippling, I'd bet.

> Lambda can run arbitrary executables Linux executables. During re:Invent 2015 there was talk about supporting a windows runtime environment.

  Well if it can run arbitrary executables, it can run Wine! :)

  What is the definition of "Linux executable" that excludes `python3`? Builtins?

    ??? Arbitrary Executables = Arbitrary Linux Executables. Since Python3 runs on linux, you can invoke python3 scripts.

      Oh, sorry, I agree. I thought you were disagreeing with parent; saying "it doesn't run arbitrary executables, it only runs linux executables". Although actually, I see what you mean now. D'oh. Windows was so far out of my mind I wasn't even thinking of it as a distinction to be made.
