Can't run s3cmd ls

[edgarjs]

I just updated to 2.1.0_1 from homebrew, and now I can't run any command. I tried doing --configure again, and then s3cmd ls but no luck. I keep getting this error message:

Also, the wiki page mentioned in the error message does not exist: https://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd/wiki/Common-known-issues-and-their-solutions

I am also getting same error in my MBP. I am using MocOS Catalina 10.15.7, if that helps

[tirkarthi]

Seems to have been fixed with #1137

[makemagik]

Having the same issue here. Is the new patch released yet? I need a fast workaround for this... Also using Catalina 10.15.7

[st-pasha]

@makemagik Fast workaround is to go into the file where the error is reported and replace for child in node.getchildren() with for child in node. Then it'll throw one other error, and you'd have to replace I think if child.getchildren() with if list(child).

@st-pasha you saved my life. thanks!

Indeed this issue is known and already fixed in MASTER.
So you can use master also.
I will release soon a new version with the fixes but a little bit more testing has still to be done to ensure that no other issue related to python 3.9.
