I've been having the same problem with similar boto dependencies. I basically ran sudo apt-get install awscli on an AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance and it was totally broken out of the box.

Typing aws on the command line after running these commands produced the expected "Usage: ..." message as opposed to a Python stacktrace.

I hope this is helpful to someone else too!
