Hey Raj,

Did you run "python setup.py install" after changing to the virtualenv?
It's picking up your /usr/local/lib/python2.6 installation rather than
the virtualenv for some reason in the output you provided. Can you check
whether boto 2.0b3 is installed in your virtualenv's site-packages
(~/Envs/StarCluster/lib/python2.6/site-packages)? If you're using
virtualenvwrapper:

$ workon StarCluster
(starcluster)$ cdsitepackages
(starcluster)$ ls
(look for boto*)

Either way try installing the latest version of boto via pip once you've
changed into the StarCluster virtualenv:

$ workon StarCluster
(starcluster)$ pip install --upgrade boto

You should then be able to do:

(starcluster)$ python -c 'import boto; print boto.Version'
2.0b3

Also just for drill:

(starcluster)$ python setup.py develop

Using 'develop' instead of 'install' has the advantage that doing a 'git
pull' will update the code without needing to rerun setup.py.
