Description wyvern5 2020-12-01 21:10:40 UTC

The v2 CLI is only distributed as an installer, and now uses a self-contained Python runtime. It's also incompatible with the v1 CLI for a handful of commands. Perhaps this should be a separate slot of `dev-python/awscli`, or maybe a different name entirely since the python nature of it is now hidden.

Reproducible: Always

awscli v2 will not be added into Gentoo since the way it is distributed is just an archetype of how to no do it. See comments on https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/4947 for reference.

We're not going to package a Python script that bundles it's own vendorized Python runtime.
