Answer 1

This appears to be a bug in way AWS EBCLI is installed

https://github.com/aws/aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup/issues/19

use below commands

pip uninstall -y virtualenv
pip install virtualenv
python .\aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup\scripts\ebcli_installer.py

Answer 2

I've just run into the same problem. It's just workaround but you can install AWS EBCLI on virtual environment like described here. Worked for me.

Answer 3

I was able to pip install awsebcli in the venv that I was working in to get things up and running.
