    The error message you’re seeing suggests that the ‘google.rpc’ module is missing. This module is part of the ‘grpcio’ package. You’ve already included the ‘grpcio’ package in your code, but you’re still seeing the error, which suggests that ‘grpcio’ might not have been installed correctly.

    When working with AWS Lambda, you have to ensure that all your dependencies are packaged within your Lambda deployment package, especially when using libraries that have C extensions, such as grpcio. These C extensions need to be compiled on an environment similar to the AWS Lambda environment, which can be tricky. In order to compile the grpcio library correctly, you could use a tool called Docker which allows you to create a similar environment to AWS Lambda for the compilation step.

    One other important thing to note is that some packages like ‘grpcio’ have additional dependencies of their own. In this case, ‘grpcio’ depends on ‘protobuf’ which may contain the ‘google.rpc’ module you’re missing. Ensure you have the correct version of ‘protobuf’ installed in your environment as well.

    If this does not work, it could be useful to create a new, clean virtual environment and install your packages there one by one to identify any possible conflicts or issues during installation that might be causing the error.

    Either way, you may need to bundle these dependencies with your AWS lambda function in order for it to work correctly.
