📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation for Alexa Custom Skill and Alexa Smart Home Skill integrations has been updated to generalize the instructions for selecting the Python runtime version when creating AWS Lambda functions. Explicit references to specific minor Python versions have been replaced with a generic "Python 3.*" directive.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
source/_integrations/alexa.intent.markdown Updated Lambda runtime instructions to use "Python 3.*" instead of "Python 3.9".
source/_integrations/alexa.smart_home.markdown Generalized runtime selection instructions, removing explicit version numbers.

⚠️ Potential issue

Wildcard renders incorrectly – users will see “Python 3.” instead of the intended version hint

Markdown interprets * as the closing emphasis delimiter, so *Python 3.* is rendered as Python 3.“Python 3.”.
The resulting dot-with-no‐wildcard is confusing and could mislead users into choosing an outdated runtime.

- Select *Python 3.* as `Runtime`.
+Select `Python 3.x` as the Runtime (choose the latest available Python 3 version).

Using back-ticks (code style) or “3.x” avoids Markdown pitfalls and keeps the guidance clear.

📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In source/_integrations/alexa.intent.markdown at line 68, the text "Select
*Python 3.* as `Runtime`." uses asterisks that Markdown interprets as emphasis
delimiters, causing incorrect rendering. To fix this, replace the asterisks with
back-ticks to format "Python 3.x" as code or write it as "Python 3.x" without
asterisks, ensuring the version hint is clear and correctly displayed.

⚠️ Potential issue

Same Markdown pitfall here – “Python 3.*” shows up as “Python 3.”

As in the Custom Skill doc, the wildcard star is swallowed by emphasis syntax, leaving an ambiguous “Python 3.” on the rendered page.

- Select *Python 3.* as `Runtime`.
+Select `Python 3.x` as the Runtime (pick the latest Python 3 runtime offered by AWS).

This small tweak prevents reader confusion and aligns with AWS’ runtime naming.

In source/_integrations/alexa.smart_home.markdown at line 160, the text "Python
3.*" is rendered incorrectly as "Python 3." because the asterisk is interpreted
as emphasis in Markdown. To fix this, escape the asterisk or format the text to
prevent Markdown from treating the star as emphasis, ensuring the runtime name
displays correctly as "Python 3.*".
