For me this was ultimately caused by some virtualenv setup steps in my .bash_profile which I wasn't really using anyway. I just got rid of those and didn't worry about brew python2, etc. — combinatorist, Apr 26 '21 at 15:59

The problem is that python2 was EOL since Jan 1st, 2020.

On the other hand, brew no longer support python@2 as well. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60229970/aws-cli-errorrootcode-for-hash-md5-was-not-found, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60298514/brew-reinstalling-python2)

trying to uninstall python2 with brew uninstall python@2 is an option.

$ brew uninstall python@2
Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/python@2/2.7.15_1... (4,169 files, 76.0MB)

solved it for me thanks! Also upgraded my outdated python3. – Sunny Patel Jun 21 '20 at 14:31
If there are any errors, brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies python@2, pulled from here – Brad Parks Sep 25 '20 at 10:59
uninstall worked for me – jersey bean Jan 20 '22 at 18:12

What solved for me was linking openssl back to 1.02 to make python2.7 working again. Check if openssl 1.0.2 is intalled:

ls /usr/local/Cellar/openssl

which should show: 1.0.2r

Now link openssl to 1.0.2r:

brew switch openssl 1.0.2r

had to switch to 1.0.2s – Amit Jul 07 '20 at 03:40
@Amit When you did ls did it show 1.0.2.s for you? – Vijay Kumar Jul 07 '20 at 12:37
@VijayKumar, yes, so i switched to 1.0.2s – Amit Jul 07 '20 at 17:42
solved an issue i was having in aws cli aws cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id – Omar Jul 26 '20 at 02:33
I think the real solution here is to upgrade the aws cli, and if it fails, pay attention to the top rated comment, ie brew link --overwrite awscli – Brad Parks Sep 25 '20 at 11:13
