While I have attempted to install the AWSCLI and Boto3, I have not been able to run either successfully. I have found a boto3 folder, post install, however boto3 —version returns command not found. While the AWSCLI appears successful after running pip install awscli, I cannot readily identify the location for the install. Anyone have steps or a reference to info that could assist?
Thanks in advance,
-d.

I have no experience with boto3, but if you are looking for the package installation, it would be in ~/Documents/site-packages-{2,3}, depending on the interpreter you are using. To find the command location, use which <commandname>.
pip also has a --verbose, which may help you debugging. I only took a quick look at boto3, but it seems like neither the wheel nor source distribution define any entrypoints, so no commands are added.

@dlow, I would recommend using boto3 as a library instead if fighting with awscli, as command-line usage of about anything is not one of Pythonista’s strengths – not even a feature of the core product, really.
(By library usage I mean creating small scripts for what you want to accomplish, by importing boto3 client classes and working with them.)
