OpenStack: Fixing the CLI (python2) error: No module named queue
Posted by Kyle Pericak in cloud
TL;DR
# replace "import queue" with:
from multiprocessing import Queue as queue
Steps to fix
In Ubuntu 18.04 you'd typically install the openstack CLI client like this:
pip install python-openstackclient
Sadly, this installs a broken version of the client. If you try and run any command you get a stack trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):

import queue
ImportError: No module named queue
To fix it, replace import queue with from multiprocessing import Queue as queue everywhere that it's called.
In my case:
usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openstack/utils.py- line 13/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openstack/cloud/openstackcloud.py- line 14
