2. Description I am getting the following error when running the EB CLI Installer in a Docker container running Debian 12 (bookworm) with Python 3.11.2 “Getting requirements to build wheel … error”

It was working fine 10 days ago but when I attempted to install it today I am unable to.

The full output is:

I was able to fix this by adding --no-build-isolation to the install_args at line 554

The problem has to do with version of PyYAML that the installer attempts to build as a dependency. I got around it by creating a virtualenv with Python 3.8.17, then running: pip install pyyaml==5.3.1. After that you can install awsebscli manually: pip install awsebcli --upgrade --user

3 weeks without any fix in sight? 😬

@jdvin’s suggestion worked for me as a work around until the issue is resolved.

Using a container created from a Python image

docker run --rm -it python:3.11-bookworm bash
apt update
python -m venv /tmp/python-env
export PATH=/tmp/python-env/bin/:$PATH
pip install pyyaml==5.3.1
pip install awsebcli --upgrade
eb --version

Using a container created from a Debian image

docker run --rm -it debian:bookworm bash
apt update
apt install -y python3 python3-pip python3-venv
python3 -m venv /tmp/python-env
export PATH=/tmp/python-env/bin/:$PATH
pip install pyyaml==5.3.1
pip install awsebcli --upgrade
eb --version

I installed it using brew install awsebcli and It worked fine.

hoping awsebcli can be updated ASAP, becoming compliant with PyYAML == 6.0

currently the awsebcli crashes on installation. workarounds require downgrades to PyYAML (not acceptable in my situation)

Thanks @hex-spell , this is the only solution that worked for me. Right on brother!

This is an error in PyYAML, caused by an upgrade to Cython 3.0 (see here).

I fixed it by downgrading my installation of PyYAML

sudo pip uninstall PyYAML
sudo pip install PyYAML==5.3.1

I’ve written a sed command that automates @hex-spell’s fix (thanks for it!). This adds the '--no-build-isolation' option at the end of the install_args array (including matching indent and trailing comma, because why not). You will need to adjust the path to aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup for your setup.

Note that since this command has a hard-coded line number, it can break if the ebcli_installer.py file is modified.

sed -i "558i\            '--no-build-isolation'," /tmp/aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup/scripts/ebcli_installer.py

@Modulariz thank you. Your quick fix works.

downgrading python to 3.7.17 and then running ebcli_installer worked for me.

I did actually get this working by following @jdvin’s steps.
