eb tool broken after upgrade to python 3.12 due to imp module remotion (python/cpython#98040)

I'm encountering this issue as well. I tried to run "eb version" and was prompted this error

[javis]

Got this error on the last version of Fedora

[josegreyes]

Just posting so I can be alerted when a fix for this issue is posted.

[benmj87]

Same issue here 👋

[TheSecMaven]

same.

[gasmarshal]

already solved!, just downgrade your python with version Python 3.11.7 and Pip version pip 23.2.1

[BobDankert]

Same. Downgrading Python to 3.11 to fix this, but would be nice if this was addressed in the repo

[hdformat]

if you are using windows 11 and python 3.12,
i found that this works for me, hoping it helps someone else

I don't get this - i thought the whole point of using python virtual environments is that you could specify a version of python to use. Why is it necessary to downgrade python when your installer is using a virtual environment to begin with? I can't deploy my website right now because the person who set it up, created the deploy script using this ebcli tool and the tool won't work on a newly upgraded machine because of this 'imp' package.
I see a thread on the tool's repository that it was already addressed and fixed back in February. So is this installer installing an older version of ebcli than the current one? I wish someone at AWS would address this as it's very difficult to rely on amazon tools such as elastic beanstalk when the primary tool many developers are using in conjunction with it is broken and the only suggested fix is 'change your php version back to something already out-of-date'
And this ticket is already 8 months old, and it's still broken? wth aws??

Just ran into this myself -- can't believe this has been open for this long. Switched from having in installed in my python project's venv to this because of the dependency issues with botocore. Kind of hilarious that this is the official way to install the tool and it doesn't work either. I also really don't understand why I have to mess around with installing virtualenv... Why not just run it with a regular venv which is native to python and cut out that extra step?

[leskapaul]

At the very least this repo's readme needs to be updated to clarify that python 3.12+ should NOT be used. This shouldn't take too long...

Hi!
I have the same problem on Python 3.12.4. The AWS documentation shows version 3.11 or later .
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/eb-cli3-install-advanced.html
Let's put the reactions of those who are facing the same problem on python 3.12.4.
