use of pbr breaks with zappa

[jwkvam]

I'm using Zappa to run some code on AWS Lambda. When I use Zappa's slim_handler to zip up my python code and packages I run into problems with mock. For the time being I've hardcoded the version info to workaround this issue and remove the dependency on pbr. My original bug is here, Miserlou/Zappa#779.

I don't really know where the issue is, but I was hoping you guys might have some insight, thanks!

Exception: Versioning for this project requires either an sdist tarball, or access to an upstream git repository. It's also possible that there is a mismatch between the package name in setup.cfg and the argument given to pbr.version.VersionInfo. Project name mock was given, but was not able to be found.

You're missing the dist-info metadata for the installed packages. See #385
