Seems to be complaining about "botocore.config.load_config(config_file)" and there being no load_config method, though I can see that in the botocore library.
Thanks for trying stacks out!
It seems the boto library you've got doesn't have the load_config method which is odd.
What version of boto do you have installed? is there more than one which might be conflicting?
We've talked about pinning the version in the requirements.txt and also making a packaged python build which should help issues like this.
Spot on it just wasn't installing the correct version of botocore, as there was already a really old one installed so it just thought it was already there and didn't do anything.
Running:
sudo pip3 install botocore --upgrade
fixes the issue. Could just amend readme so instructions ask people to use the upgrade flag? Though agree pinning the version sounds like a sensible move.
