I've installed Python 3.6 instead of the default 3.5 release on a new cloud server (Ubuntu 16.04). After I restarted the server, I found that it failed to execute cloud-init at startup with the following errors in the syslog.

There were apparently two problems:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'

ValueError: Function has keyword-only parameters or annotations, use getfullargspec() API which can support them

So I ran apt-get install python3-apt, but the package was already installed. Then I ran apt-get install python3-jsonpatch, and it's done successfully. Unfortunately, the problem is not fixed.

Finally I solved the problem by upgrading the jsonpatch package with pip.

$ pip3 install --upgrade jsonpatch

This is a known bug (compatibility issue) on an old version of jsonpatch (see https://github.com/stefankoegl/python-json-patch/issues/56). I have to upgrade the package by pip instead of apt-get. This can fix both two errors.

I had created a AWS AMI with python KCL application, which was used to create instances in the Auto Scale Group. I ran the above command and recreated the AMI which is now working. Thanks – Vanadium
@Acarus worked flawlessly. Thanks! – Moneymaking
