Why does eb cli crash when initializing multi environment

Question

So I was running eb init --modules modA modB and at the Application name step it crashes every time.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/myname/Library/Python/3.4/bin/eb", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('awsebcli==3.8.3', 'console_scripts', 'eb')()

    app.run()

    return func()

    default_env=default_env)
  File "/Users/myname/Library/Python/3.4/lib/python/site-packages/ebcli/operations/commonops.py", line 470, in create_app
    io.log_info('Creating application: ' + app_name)
TypeError: Can't convert 'tuple' object to str implicitly

So why is it crashing???

Lo! There is a bug in the initialize.py file. It is trying to use a Tuple as a String. Apply this patch and you're good to go.

<                     self.app_name = self.get_app_name()[0]

>                     self.app_name = self.get_app_name()

PS - I can't seem to find a maintainer for the eb cli tool anywhere. Maybe they watch Stack Overflow? Sure would be nice if it was public like the aws cli tool.
