awsebcli ImportError no module named 'data_poller' python 3.4.3

Question

I am trying to deploy a website using Elastic Beanstalk. In the process, I am trying to set up awsebcli, the command line interface for elastic beanstalk. I have created a virtual environment with python 3.4.3 using conda and then pip install awsebcli. After installation I call:

eb --version

And get an import error:

ImportError: No Module named 'data_poller'

I have found the data_poller.py file and the DataPoller class in the file. I do not know why this is not importing and preventing eb from working. I have used both MacOS 10.11 and Ubuntu 16.10 with the same results. How do I fix the import error and get elastic beanstalk cli to work?

Answer 1

Something seems to be wrong with the latest version. I just installed it on a clean machine and got the same error. If I force it back to the prior version I can do the eb --version without error now.

pip install awsebcli==3.8.8 --force-reinstall
