Plugin creates packages even though I'm using Lambda Layers

[Jordan-Eckowitz]

I'm using the per function setup shown here in the README:
https://github.com/UnitedIncome/serverless-python-requirements#per-function-requirements

I've switched to using Layers to reduce my deployment time. So all of the individual requirements.txt files are now empty. But when I deploy the API, this plugin still runs the packaging process.

I'm guessing its reading the imports inside the py files in each sub-folder and packaging those imports. Is there a way to skip python packaging if the individual requirements.txt files are empty?

I have run into the same issue, and I'm not using per-function requirements, it seems it still adds the .requirements.zip to the deployment payload, also worth asking, do you still have to use import unzip_requirements in the same way ? Id love to see some more documentation on the use of layers with this plugin.. Ta

Any updates on this issue?
