AWS IAM create access key failure

Having trouble creating an access key for my AWS user. I've set up aws on the command line (aws configure) and try the following command

aws iam create-access-key --user-name myUser

I get the following response and have no clue what to do. Seems to be a problem with python or something from my quick google
