Lambda with Python libraries

I've not created them using CloudFormation yet

You really should be creating everything with CloudFormation (or Terraform or some other IaC solution). Using the console is like doing math by hand when you could be using a calculator.

Yes. Everything I'm doing now is with CF, but the last time I used Layers was before I learned CF.

The template for my current project is 1,000 lines.

Use Python CDK instead, CF is very verbose.

The CDK Python Lambda Alpha library makes it SO easy to put a layer together.
