Furthermore, Python contains the notion of "slice-notation," meaning that the programmer can chose small sections of the string, called "substrings" to manipulate as well.

How would I convert that to an actual num? If I use int (), Python assumes decimal and creates a number that's much, much bigger (in the above example, it would return the # 101101 instead of 45).

From there, you can easily edit your Python code and quickly test your AWS Lambda functions all within the AWS Management Console. Serverless computing with Python in AWS really couldn’t be easier.
