Error:

ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'configobj'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

Hi, you probably have package python-configobj installed (check with yum info python-configobj). On Centos 7 it has lower version than what mycli requires, and it cannot be upgraded by pip. You have two easy options:

  1. remove the system package manually: yum erase python-configobj, then pip install --upgrade mycli will install a newer version as a dependency. However, be cautious: if some other application depended on that earlier configobj version, it may break after the update.

  2. Install python3 and use its ecosystem for mycli:
    yum install python3
    pip3 install mycli
    I'd recommend the second option, especially since python2 support is going to be deprecated with the next mycli release.
