ec2_metadata package not installed automatically

[sebdah]

Thanks for reporting this. I'm not able to replicate the issue. Below is an example where I created a virtualenv and ran pip install aws-ec2-assign-elastic-ip. I can then import the ec2_metadata package and also assign IPs.

If you could show me what the pip install output looks like, it'd be great. Might be that we could find some clues there.
