Aws-cli fails on disco

snap

After installing the aws-cli snap on Disco, attempting to use it throws a python ImportError for common libraries. It looks like it’s trying to import from ~/.local for some reason.

$ aws --version

FYI I was able to fix this by removing the Python3.6 directory from ~/.local/lib.
