I was setting up scheduled backup of my postgresql database on my server using wal-e. I was following this link. (Just have a look at the article from Step 3)
When I execute the below command after initial setup .
sudo -u postgres /usr/bin/envdir /etc/wal-e.d/env /usr/local/bin/wal-e backup-push /var/lib/postgresql/9.5/main.

I get following error:-

 PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/urllib3-1.24.1.dist-info'

Please help

Faced the same issue. Your postgres user is not able to access the distribution packages.

Try running the below command. It should resolve the issue.

chmod a+xr -R /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/*
