com.aws.greengrass.lambdamanager.StatusTimeoutException mysterious lambda error

I am trying to use lambdas on greengrass v2. I created and packaged the hello world lambda from the greengrass tutorial and deployed it to the core but it continues to error out. It doesnt seem to run to completion, or the lambda isnt getting called correctly and the core reports it as timed out. This is the stacktrace. How do I get this lambda to work in greeengrass v2?

aws.greengrass.LambdaManager 2.2.2 using Python Python 3.7

With the following hello world lambda

import json
import awsiot.greengrasscoreipc
import awsiot.greengrasscoreipc.client as client
from awsiot.greengrasscoreipc.model import (
    QOS,
    PublishToIoTCoreRequest
)

TIMEOUT = 10

ipc_client = awsiot.greengrasscoreipc.connect()

def greengrass_hello_world_run():
    topic = "my/topic"
    message = "Hello, World"
    qos = QOS.AT_LEAST_ONCE

request = PublishToIoTCoreRequest()
request.topic_name = topic
request.payload = bytes(message, "utf-8")
request.qos = qos
operation = ipc_client.new_publish_to_iot_core()
operation.activate(request)
future = operation.get_response()
future.result(TIMEOUT)
Timer(5, greengrass_hello_world_run).start()
