I am trying to create and ec2 instance from my Mac OSX machine. I highlighted the failure in Yellow. I have installed boto and boto3 via pip and there were no error messages on install.

=> pip3 list
Package Version

boto 2.48.0
boto3 1.7.21

=> pip list |grep boto RETURNS NOTHING

=> pip install boto

You are confusing python3, pip3, and python2, pip. Plus of usng brew, you have 2 versioons of python2 on your system. /usr/bin/python and /usr/local/bin/python.

Make sure you have setup your paths and chosen the version and instance of python you prefer to use.

michaels-MacBook-Pro:~ mpechner$ which pip

/usr/local/bin/pip

michaels-MacBook-Pro:~ mpechner$ which pip2

/usr/local/bin/pip2

michaels-MacBook-Pro:~ mpechner$ which python

/usr/bin/python

michaels-MacBook-Pro:~ mpechner$ which python2

/usr/local/bin/python2

michaels-MacBook-Pro:~ mpechner$ python --version

Python 2.7.10

michaels-MacBook-Pro:~ mpechner$ pip --version

pip 9.0.3 from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

I dont know much about python: How can i specify which version to use? Which version should I set? I thought pyenv would handle this but it seems broken?

=> sudo pyenv global
