Hi David,

Try with PYTHONPATH setting as following. It worked for me. Don't know how to explain it yet.

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib64/python3.9/site-packages

My clue came from the location of cryptography module.

Thanks for reaching out and for your patience. Cryptography is a required dependency and here are the supported version ranges for v2. I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the CLI following this documentation to update to a more recent version and ensure you have the required dependencies. The latest CLI version per the CHANGELOG is 2.15.45. Converting this to a discussion as this is a guidance-related question, let us know if you have any follow up questions.
