When running EB CLI, do you run into the following error?

$ eb deploy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:Python34libsite-packagespkg_resources__init__.py", line 635, in _build_master
    ws.require(__requires__)
  File "C:Python34libsite-packagespkg_resources__init__.py", line 942, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "C:Python34libsite-packagespkg_resources__init__.py", line 834, in resolve
    raise VersionConflict(dist, req).with_context(dependent_req)
pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (colorama 0.3.3 (c:python34libsite-packages), Requirement.parse('colorama==0.3.7'), {'awsebcli'})

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'colorama==0.3.7' distribution was not found and is required by awsebcli

I ran into this error today. Apparently it was caused by installing AWS CLI after EB CLI:
pip install awscli
Reinstalling EB CLI solved the issue:
pip install awsebcli
