I was able to solve this by running:

brew install pyenv pyenv install 3.7.2

Wish I found the other thread earlier, would have saved me 2 hours. https://github.com/aws/aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup/issues/23

Run brew install zlib Follow the instruction in installation message of zlib to create a symlink Follw the Mac OS specific instructions here

In my case, these actions did not work. Instead, using a patch mentioned in this comment solved the issue. In order to install python 3.7.2, I ran:

pyenv install --patch 3.7.2 < <(curl -sSL https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/8ea6353.patch\?full_index\=1)

My environments are:

macOS Big Sur 11.4
XCode 12.5.1
