Hi, Im getting the following error after installing aws-shell in my EC2 Amazon Linux 2:

[ec2-user@tmp]$ aws-shell
First run, creating autocomplete index...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ec2-user/.local/bin/aws-shell", line 8, in

return _iterencode(o, 0)
MemoryError

Are you able to help ?

Same here I also tried it by installing it using pip install aws-shell and got the same error message

Actually not sure what exactly fixed it, however i have done the following on the ec2 instance:
pip3 install awscli
pip3 install awsshell

Then ran aws-shell and worked fine.

So maybe it needs to run with python3 now, but I am not sure :)
