easy_install boto3 1.18.60 broken dependency on botocore 1.21.60

Describe the bug AWS Elastic Beanstalk deployments are trying (and failing) to run easy_install boto3: No local packages or working download links found for botocore<1.22.0,>=1.21.60

It’s checking the pypi repo (https://pypi.org/simple/botocore/) which has the whl but is missing a tar.gz for the latest (1.21.60) release.

I don’t know if this is more a boto3 problem or a botocore problem, but it seemed right to put it here

Steps to reproduce

• Execute easy_install boto3

Expected behavior Install!

The releases for the past couple of days have had both the sdist and wheel available at the same time so we’re fairly confident the changes we made to our release process have alleviated simple index caching issue. Will leave this issue open over the weekend.

We’ve made some additional changes today to help reduce the simple index cache sync time. That should hopefully prevent the delay seen this week and solve this in the short term. Longer term, we’ll likely want to work with ElasticBeanstalk to move off easy_install as it’s been unsupported for a few years now and doesn’t work nicely with the rest of Python’s packaging infrastructure.
