Aws-cli: ImportError: No module named pyasn1.error

[glaksmono]

Any ideas what may caused this?

I tried to upgrade:

➜  ~ pip install --upgrade awscli
Requirement already up-to-date: awscli in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
Cleaning up...

Thoughts?

I figured:

Upgrade PIP

➜  Documents sudo pip install --upgrade pip

Cleaning up...

Then upgrade the aws cli
