VersionConflict: Unable to autoremove awscli

[acarl005]

I have a functioning installation of the awscli package.

$ aws
usage: aws [options] <command> <subcommand> [<subcommand> ...] [parameters]
To see help text, you can run:

  aws help
  aws <command> help
  aws <command> <subcommand> help
aws: error: the following arguments are required: command

However, when I try to remove it, I get this error:

$ pip-autoremove awscli

I'm on MacOS Catalina.

$ python --version
Python 3.7.0
$ pip-autoremove --version
pip-autoremove 0.9.1

Same issue here attempting to remove opendrop. Although I installed it with the pip3 command. I'm on macOS Catalina as well (10.15.4). Also python --version returns Python 2.7.16 and my path to the lib and bin folders are in /usr/local/ instead of ~.

Sounds like #16 is the solution. If so, you can install directly from my fork tresni/pip-autoremove with pip install git+https://github.com/tresni/pip-autoremove.git

Is it going to be merged?

[jnawk]

Currently has merge conflicts.

[tresni]

My fork has been updated with some newer commits and integrates a number of bug fixes.

Should be addressed by the merge of #42 and the new release, please close if that resolves your issue.
