Error when running setup.py in raspberry pi #103

The following error appears when running setup.py in a raspberry pi. After this, collectd is unable to start as shown below. Deleting the /etc/collectd-cloudwatch.conf makes collectd usable again. The generated cloudwatch conf is shown below. What is the possible cause and solution for this?

Error:

CloudWatch collectd plugin is already configured in the existing collectd.conf file.
