[Python-apps-team] Bug#775706: awscli 1.7 needs an updated botocore version

[Carlos Izquierdo]

Package: awscli
Version: 1.7.0-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I recently upgraded awscli from 1.4.2 to 1.7.0 and found that I could not run
it, instead I got the following error:

$ aws help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/aws", line 15, in <module>
    import awscli.clidriver
  File "/usr/share/awscli/awscli/clidriver.py", line 23, in <module>
    from botocore import parsers
ImportError: cannot import name 'parsers'

botocore.parsers was introduced in botocore 0.64 and the version I had on the
system was 0.62 (version on testing currently)

python3-botocore packages have been provided for versions 0.69 and 0.81. I
installed 0.81 which is now on unstable and the error disappeared.

Please update awscli's dependency to one of these recent versions.

Best regards,
Carlos
