installing using pip in Python 3.10.5 on RHEL 8

[shang-lin]

I am trying to install awscli 1.25.61 for Python 3.10.5 using pip on a RHEL 8 system, and it is failing with an error message about Cython:

  failed to import Cython: /tmp/pip-build-env-x4nskqp7/overlay/lib/python3.10/site-packages/Cython/Compiler/Scanning.
cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: failed to map segment from shared object
      error: Cython does not appear to be installed

After using pip to install Cython successfully, I still got the same output. I'd appreciate any assitance. The full output is below:

$ python3 -m pip install awscli

Thanks!

I found out that awscli 1.25.61 is obsolete. Now I've installed awscli v2 using the bundled installer, and everything seems to be working.
