I install aws-cli (from source) using Macports, it doesn't install

setup.py install" it ends up buried in directories under the Macports
directory structure, which isn't usable. Maybe I am missing some
ENV variables?
Assuming you have Python 3.7 installed using MacPorts:
port select python python37
port install py37-awscli
port select awscli py37-awscli
That gets you the current MacPorts version: 1.16.266. It gives you these
symlinks in /opt/local/bin:
aws -> /opt/local/bin/aws-3.7
aws-3.7 ->
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/aws
aws.cmd -> /opt/local/bin/aws.cmd-3.7
aws.cmd-3.7 ->
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/aws.cmd
aws_bash_completer-3.7 ->
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/aws_bash_completer
aws_completer -> /opt/local/bin/aws_completer-3.7
aws_completer-3.7 ->
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/aws_completer
aws_zsh_completer.sh -> /opt/local/bin/aws_zsh_completer.sh-3.7
aws_zsh_completer.sh-3.7 ->
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/aws_zsh_completer.sh
To update that installation to the latest (1.16.293) you can use pip:
port install py37-pip
port select pip pip37
pip install awscli --upgrade --user
