I actually dealt with a similar problem a couple years ago, we were trying to get numpy on Lambda but there's C compilation that needs to happen. What I ended up doing was provisioning an EC2 instance with the same settings as the environment that Lambda uses, then building everything there, and shoving the binaries in the Lambda. It worked, I'm pretty sure the same thing would work for building Python.
