Linux commands error as if they were python modules

Question

I'm running arch and when I try to use aws in the terminal I get a python-like error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/aws", line 19, in <module>
    import awscli.clidriver
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'awscli'

This happened for pip as well which I resolved by python -m ensurepip but I don't know why it was like that in the first place. I even tried explicitly adding the path to aws to my PATH to no avail.

Answer 1

Well, pip and other applications are in fact python programs. Apparently you just lack the 'awscli' module. A first try would be just install this module.
