I faced the same error on Python 3.5.2. I switched to python 3.7 instead and the installation succeeded with the following command: python3.7 -m pip install aws-sam-cli

SAM CLI supports Python2.7, 3.6, and 3.7. If you elect to install through pip instead of one of our installers (installers are preferred) then the python version you install into must be one of our supported versions.

I ran brew reinstall aws-sam-cli after following the process and got a successful download.

Afterwards, running sam --version, I get this:

The program 'sam' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install simon

You can follow the docs under “Install the AWS SAM CLI Using Linuxbrew” in the link I have above. This describes the step need to install.
