I had the same problem and managed to install aws-shell after installing python through homebrew. Python packages have always been a huge pain on OS X.
@rossdakin Thanks for the detailed info, it's helpful. I believe this is the same issue as https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/1522 which affects El Capitan users (tracking issue in pip: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3165, great explanation of the problem here).
The reported workaround is to run: sudo pip install aws-shell --upgrade --ignore-installed six
, which will ignore apple's built in six module.
We're following the upstream pip issue to see what comes out of it, but for now, I think that's your best bet. I'll get our README install instructions updated in the meantime.
Oh I should also mention @shinzui's suggestion is a much better solution if you're willing to install homebrew and install python via homebrew.
README updated via https://github.com/awslabs/aws-shell/pull/61. Let me know if you still run into issues.
Forgive me if this is overly specific to my system, but I'm hoping for help with why installation is failing.
