aws-export-credentials Credentials.__new__() takes 5 positional arguments but 6 were given

I installed aws-export-credentials with pipx
which aws-export-credentials -> /Users/philipp/.local/bin/aws-export-credentials

If I start aws-export-credentials without any params I get error

Credentials.__new__() takes 5 positional arguments but 6 were given

Any advice?

This tool is no longer maintained, because there's native support for it in the AWS CLI: https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/configure/export-credentials.html That said, I'll take a look at what changed in botocore

What's the output when you run with --debug?
