ModuleNotFound Error: no module named 'botocore.vendored'

[meganpetroski]

Using Python3.6 on Windows 10, I installed awscli using the following command:

pip install --upgrade boto3 awscli

It seems to install successfully, and then whenever I try to run any AWS cli command, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

What version of botocore do you have installed? Can you run pip check and see if it reports any issues?

Closing due to inactivity.

Good, I have installed aws-cli in openSUSE Tumbleweed. I used before without any issue, but now, suddenly I got the same issue.

[mpapis]

seeing the same error on OpenSUSE with botocore 1.10.4 and python 3.6 ,could you reopen?

Same problem here (openSUSE TW). The complete output is

Same. Installed aws-cli on Tumbleweed today and get the same error. Please re-open @dstufft @joguSD

[rombert]

For the Tumbleweed problem please see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1092493

Same error on windows 10 , Python3.6

[eromoe]

OK, the problem is first time install with --user . It install to windows user folder, I stop the installation and reinstall without --user cause this error.

[Dmitry1987]

same happens for me with python3 (3.6.7-1~18.04)

python3-botocore (1.8.48+repack-1) ...
python3-s3transfer (0.1.13-1) ...
awscli (1.14.44-1ubuntu1) ...

[riptl]

Seems to happen if you both have apt install python3-botocore and pip3 install botocore.

[KaiserWhoLearns]

Same problem, while I only have apt install python3-botocore.

Python 3.8.5
python3-botocore: 1.16.19+repack-1ubuntu0.20.04.1
awscli: 1.18.208

Update:
For my case, my awscli installation may be corrupted to some unknown reasons. After reinstalling awscli, things are working now.

[holisticode]

sudo apt remove python3-botocore then pip3 install botocore fixed it for me.

I then ran an ansible script which also installs awscli, and even if it already was installed, it appears to have run/installed it again.

In my case, it works for me.

sudo apt remove python3-botocore
pip3 uninstall botocore
sudo apt install python3-botocore
sudo apt install awscli
pip install --upgrade boto3 awscli

[skilfoy]

In my case, it works for me.

sudo apt remove python3-botocore pip3 uninstall botocore sudo apt install python3-botocore sudo apt install awscli pip install --upgrade boto3 awscli

This worked for me! Thank you
