Cannot Install Aminator

[Raynard Lawson]

I used to be able to install Aminator on the standard Amazon Linux OS without any issues. For some reason, the installation now appears to be successful but I get an error when I try to run aminate. Can you see where I am going wrong?:

1) yum install git  (git-1.8.3.1-2.37.amzn1.x86_64)

2) yum install python-pip (python-pip-1.3.1-4.7.amzn1.noarch)

3) mkdir /git

4) cd /git

5) git clone https://github.com/Netflix/aminator.git

6) cd aminator

7) python setup.py install

[root@ip-10-204-129-231 aminator]# aminate -h

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/aminator/config.py:41: UserWarning: Module backports was already imported from /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/backports/__init__.pyc, but /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages is being added to sys.path

[root@ip-10-204-129-231 aminator]# python --version

Python 2.6.9

Can anybody see what that error is indicating?

Hi,

It should've been fixed in this commit. Try installing again and it should work with the latest code.
