**Description**
Lambda response streaming allows you to incremental stream responses back to clients rather than waiting for the entire response to be buffered first, reducing Time to First Byte. It is currently only supported for Node.js runtime. We would expand support for response streaming to Python runtimes.

Research direction

No implementation files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by reviewing the existing Node.js response-streaming support and the Python runtime architecture; done means Python runtimes can incrementally stream Lambda responses to clients with equivalent support.
