salt: salt-call --local sys.doc none gives errors/warning in amazon linux

Description of Issue/Question

On 2017.7.0 when running salt-call --local sys.doc none or salt-call --local sys.doc aliases.list_aliases on amazon linux I get errors/warnings. Commands seems to run fine. Other salt-call --local commands runs fine without the warning/error. I see this:

[ERROR   ] Exception raised when processing __virtual__ function for salt.loaded.int.module.boto_elbv2. Module will not be loaded: 'boto3.assign_funcs'
[WARNING ] salt.loaded.int.module.boto_elbv2.__virtual__() is wrongly returning `None`. It should either return `True`, `False` or a new name. If you're the developer of the module 'boto_elbv2', please fix this.
[ERROR   ] Exception raised when processing __virtual__ function for salt.loaded.int.module.boto_kinesis. Module will not be loaded: 'boto3.assign_funcs'
[WARNING ] salt.loaded.int.module.boto_kinesis.__virtual__() is wrongly returning `None`. It should either return `True`, `False` or a new name. If you're the developer of the module 'boto_kinesis', please fix this.

Setup

@VirtualAirwaves This is already fixed in SaltStack 2018.2 (but is not is 2017.7.7): https://github.com/saltstack/salt/pull/44063/commits/1789ca93f905a56b0ab93a54afb1bcb4b3e9f58c

Well at least, the issue is solved for me.

I don’t know if this was epel 7-10 or boto3 1.4.7 which solved the issue, but after installing both, and before installing salt, there is no more issue at all (even those in the initial ticket message are cleared!)

Here is what I did to solve the issue in this order: Install a fresh Centos 7.3 (because there is no AWS AMI for 7.4 yet) Install epel 7-10 directly (without passing via 7-9, but it should not be an issue), with the following: yum -y localinstall http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

then: yum -y update yum -y install python2-pip pip install --upgrade pip # This one may not be needed to solve the issue, anyway I keep it there pip install awscli pip install --upgrade boto3

then install salt 2017.7.1

Hope this helps some of you
