cdk init sample-app --language=python
source .env/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt 
cdk synth
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "app.py", line 5, in <module>
    from hello.hello_stack import MyStack
  File "/home/ec2-user/environment/test2/hello/hello_stack.py", line 9, in <module>
    from hello_construct import HelloConstruct

    class HelloConstruct(cdk.Construct):
**AttributeError: module 'aws_cdk.cdk' has no attribute 'Construct'**
Subprocess exited with error 1

• What is the expected behavior (or behavior of feature suggested)? cdk synth should succeed

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior or adding this feature?

• Please tell us about your environment:

  • CDK CLI Version:0.36.0
  • Module Version: xx.xx.xx
  • OS: Amazon Linux (Code9)
  • Language: [Python ]

• Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stacktraces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, links for us to have context, eg. associated pull-request, stackoverflow, gitter, etc) It appears the change from aws-cdk.cdk in 0.36.0 broke the sample-app and needs to be updated.

It also appears there is a change to the sqs.Queue class that breaks hello_construct.py. Specicially, visibility_timeout_secs was renamed visbility_timeout and expects an object instead of int.

Same for me. I installed cdk this morning. At that time it was 0.35. I wrote my app modeled on the sample app. Later in the day, I had to install cdk for cloudformation. At that point my cdk got upgraded to 0.36. That time I got the same error.

To workaround in the sample app:

• Change all imports of cdk, to core, in app.py, hello_construct.py, and hello_stack.py
• Replace all cdk. to core. in the same 3 python scripts
• Change visibility_timeout_secs=300 to visibility_timeout=core.Duration.seconds(300) in hello_construct.py
• Replace App.run() with App.synth() at the end of the app.py script

Have fun!
