aws-sam-cli: Bug: sam init returns "Stopping generation because post_gen_project hook script didn't exit successfully"

Description:

➜ sam init --location https://github.com/aws-samples/cookiecutter-aws-sam-python


	SAM CLI now collects telemetry to better understand customer needs.

	You can OPT OUT and disable telemetry collection by setting the
	environment variable SAM_CLI_TELEMETRY=0 in your shell.
	Thanks for your help!
