AWS EB PyYAML fix
note, Sep 18, 2023, on Mitja Felicijan's blog
Recent update of my system completely borked EB CLI
on my machine.
I tried installing it with pip install awsebcli --upgrade --user and it failed.
The error was the following.
Collecting PyYAML<6.1,>=5.3.1 (from awsebcli)
Using cached PyYAML-5.4.1.tar.gz (175 kB)
Installing build dependencies ... done
Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
× Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.

To fix this issue with PyYAML you must install PyYAML separately.
Do the following and try installing eb again after.
echo 'Cython < 3.0' > /tmp/constraint.txt
PIP_CONSTRAINT=/tmp/constraint.txt pip install 'PyYAML==5.4.1'
