AWS lambda zappa not using latest boto3 version

I have a flask app that I deploy to AWS lambda. This application requires the latest version of boto3 (1.9.71), however, when deploying the application with zappa it does not use the latest version.

Here is the current setup:

from flask import Blueprint
import boto3

bp_routes = Blueprint('simple_routes', __name__)


@bp_routes.route('/test_boto')
def test_boto():
    return f'BOTO VERSION: {boto3.__version__}'

The requirements.txt:

flake8==3.7.7
Flask==1.0.2
flask-script==2.0.6
python-dotenv==0.10.1
yapf==0.27.0
zappa==0.48.2
botocore==1.12.71
boto3==1.9.71

Running the application locally with flask run and browsing to the route http://127.0.0.1:5000/test_boto I get 

BOTO VERSION: 1.9.71

However, when deploying it to AWS lambda with zappa update and then browsing there I get

BOTO VERSION: 1.9.42

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Zappa excludes boto3 by default because its included in the lambda environment. A fudge that worked for me previously was add a pattern that won't match anything to the exclude field in zappa_settings.json this then caused zappa to include my bundled boto3.
