Aws-cli: AWS-CLI not working after installation using pip on Windows

[asallamon]

I just did a fresh installation on Windows 7 64-Bit:

• Installed Python 2.7.4 (32-Bit)
• Installed distribute and pip from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
• Executed "pip install awscli"

It seems, that pip installs all packages.

When I tried to test the awscli the following appeared:

C:\Python27\Scripts>aws help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\Scripts\aws.cmd", line 49, in <module>
    import awscli.clidriver
ImportError: No module named 'awscli'

Cleaning up...

I tried this on a second PC with same result.
On the computers where it's already installed - it works fine.

Sorry, just solved the Problem...

I just forgot to set the PATH-Variable on both machines.

@asallamon I ran into a similar issue (see #2372). What did you set inside PATH for this to work?

I had similar issue with Windows 10 (64 bit). Python 3.5 and Python 2.7 are installed in my PC. I was getting ImportError: No module named awscli.clidriver.

Then I added %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python35\Scripts in environment path variable and removed Python 2.7 from the environment path variable. Now I can successfully use awscli.

I have created a step by step AWSCLI installation guide in this Github repository: https://github.com/arsho/installation/tree/master/awscli_installation.
