Python3.6 image version of awscli doesn't work

To see help text, you can run:

  aws help
  aws <command> help
  aws <command> <subcommand> help
aws: error: too few arguments

My work around for now is to remove the existing entrypoint at /usr/bin/aws and reinstall with pip3

[:~] $ sudo docker run --rm -it lambci/lambda:build-python3.6 bash -c "rm /usr/bin/aws && pip3 install awscli > /dev/null && aws"

  aws help

aws: error: the following arguments are required: command

Hmmm, that's annoying. Perhaps the pip3 install option is the best solution – let me look into it.

[mhart]

I don't think you need to remove the existing one even (the python3.6 images have /var/lang/bin at a higher precedence in the PATH)

I think I'll just add this to the build-python3.6 image – probably along with the missing header files: #32 (comment)

[mhart]

Added this – thanks for the nudge 👍

Will probably take a while before the images are updated, can check progress here: https://hub.docker.com/r/lambci/lambda/builds/

Awesome! Thanks for the quick update 🙂

Build done. Confirmed that docker run lambci/lambda:build-python3.6 aws --version works as expected
