Ephemeral AWS CLI for embedding with version control

If you want to install, use, and group an aws cli system together with a codebase you're working on, then give the following a try. You'll need to have python 2 or 3, bash, and git installed within the context you're running.

1. Download or clone the latest release of this software.
2. Run awsenv.sh and fill in stuff:

[me@laptop ~/awsenv]$ ./awsenv.sh
Enter an identifier for PS1, blank if unsure: myEnv
Enter default AWS region: eu-west-1
Enter AWS acces key ID: my_key_id
Enter AWS secret access key: (will not echo)
Additional PyPI packages to include, space separated:
.
.
.
myEnv [me@laptop ~/awsenv]$ aws iam list-groups
{
    "Groups": [
        {
            "GroupId": "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTU",
            "Path": "/",
            "GroupName": "root",
            "CreateDate": "19070-01-01T00:00:00Z",
            "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:group/root"
        }
    ]
}
myEnv [me@laptop ~/awsenv]$ exit
[me@laptop ~/awsenv]$

When you're finished just type exit or hit Ctrl-D. The stuff you entered to start the awsenv was saved in a file named awsenv.conf. awsenv.sh will only write and try to read the awsenv.conf residing in the same directory as itself. Never commit awsenv.conf to version control as it contains your secret access key.
