aws command: 'module' object has no attribute 'main'

[xueshanf]

I cloned the aws-cli from git clone https://github.com/aws/aws-cli.git. Then I built a .deb package (after installed all other dependencies). When I ran /usr/bin/aws command, it generated the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/aws", line 23, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/bin/aws", line 19, in main
    return awscli.clidriver.main()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'main'

For trouble-shooting, I installed the package using pip. /usr/local/bin/aws runs without problem.

I noticed that the two 'aws' commands are different (/usr/bin /aws is from git, /usr/local/bin is from pip), see below diff output.

What I have missed?
Thanks!

It seems that you have a new version of the aws script (the one with the return awscli.clidriver.main()) that is importing an older version of the package files. This is a relatively recent change (7dc65d2) and you definitely need to use the right script with the right package. I'm not sure how things are getting confused within your environment.
