title: Is there a way to import a python helper library from a deployed Google Cloud Function, outside the function?
body: <p>We are developing an application on Google Cloud that makes use of Cloud Functions in Python. We're looking at developing a generic helper library that many of our functions will import.</p>
  
  <p>The problem with this is if the helper library is changed in any way, all our functions will need to be redeployed.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to find a way to host (for want of a better word) our helper library (for example in Google Cloud Storage), and somehow import it into the <code>main.py</code> files, such that any changes to the helper library can be made without having to redeploy the functions. Is this possible at all?</p>
