I can't install let's encrypt on CentOS 6 AWS

Hello.

I can't install let's encrypt on CentOS6 AWS.

I did that:

--debug attempt experimental installation
-h, --help print this help
-n, --non-interactive, --noninteractive run without asking for user input
--no-bootstrap do not install OS dependencies
--no-self-upgrade do not download updates
--os-packages-only install OS dependencies and exit
--install-only install certbot, upgrade if needed, and exit
-v, --verbose provide more output
-q, --quiet provide only update/error output;

Then, prompt is not coming back.
State of ps is that:

What is the issue? I think that is Python's issue or something.
Please help me!

The problem was solved by myself.
After all, it seems that the latest version of let’s encrypt was not working well.
The latest version is not compatible with CentOS 6.
Pull old version from git and solve! Operation confirmed in version 0.29.1.
