### Describe the bug
Whenever I create a new Python lambda function and do an amplify push, the size of the lambda function is always over 3MB, usually 3.4MB. This disallows me to do code editing and testing in the lambda console which I am used to doing as we use Amplify with appsync and deploy lambda functions through Amplify. This occurs even when I create a blank default lambda function in python without any code changes or modifications to the default.
### Expected behavior
I should be able to make code edits and test on the lambda console because the size is usually under 3MB.
### Reproduction steps
1. amplify add function
2. Select python function
3. Make no changes and accept defaults
4. amplify push
5. Check lambda console and you get the message: The deployment package of your Lambda function "testfunc-dev" is too large to enable inline code editing. However, you can still invoke your function.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with `amplify add function` and `amplify push` using a blank Python function, then trace the Amplify CLI's function packaging path. Done means the unchanged deployment package is below the Lambda console's inline-editing limit and the reported reproduction steps no longer produce the size warning.
