Also finding this error everywhere which is caused by wrong usage of print in python:

# python /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/ebcli/__init__.py
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/ebcli/__init__.py", line 215
    print json.dumps(resource, indent=4)
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

Shouldn't be print(json.dumps(resource, indent=4)) instead?

I've been having the same problem, but everything was working just fine 4 days ago.

I noticed that the latest version of virtualenv is now 20.20.0, last week it was 20.19.0.

virtualenv 20.20.0 adds the packages: pip==23.0.1, setuptools==67.4.0, wheel==0.38.4 virtualenv 20.19.0 adds the packages: pip==23.0, setuptools==67.1.0, wheel==0.38.4

Platform: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS

[charliedzhang]

got same error and solved it by doing below: /home/your user name/.ebcli-virtual-env/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip

[mateus-batista]

Installing the previous virtualenv version did the trick. You can do that by using

pipx install git+https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv.git#e2833afe407ea8a9b8abd79befd4339f7c1c873b

Instead of

pipx install virtualenv

I managed to installed it with your suggestion, but now having this error.

@mateus-batista Any idea how to properly solve the print error?

I believe it might be because it is using python 2.7? File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 158, in addpackage, how do i force it to use python3?

You may be missing some dependency libraries. Check this session of the readme file: https://github.com/aws/aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup#4-troubleshooting

the weird thing is eb runs partially, always the error first and then part of the eb output.

[marcelo321]

the suggestions in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=276388 did not help neither pip uninstall setuptools

[dustinbolton]

After spending hours trying to get this to work I just used pipx as mentioned here and all installed fine: https://github.com/aws/aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup/issues/149
