SyntaxError when calling boto3.clilent('s3')

See original GitHub issue

I have an issue when initializing s3 client with python3.6 and boto3-1.5.6. Here is an example code.


import boto3
client = boto3.client('s3')

I got the following error.


Traceback (most recent call last):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Testing environment is by using AWS Cloud9, however the same error is reproduced in another environment with python3.6 and newest boto3.

In the case of creating DynamoDB client, there is no error.

How can I fix it ?

Why is this closed? I just had this problem, the only extra package installed is requests
