Cool, thank you. A quick glance looked good.

We saw this hang before, and we thought we fixed it Friday. Francesco had a fix for the su contextmanager (a try/finally) and I landed it. 

The workaround I had before was to do a ps aux | grep python, and then look for a process that was trying to do a juju log as a buildbot user. That hangs, for some reason. Kill the process, and the parent script process will terminate, actually telling you what went wrong (in stdout or the logs) in a traceback. 

It's also worth noting that I had a successful unattended charm deployment this weekend on ec2 for the lpbuildbot setup. I still need to fix the actual steps, but with only firing off four juju commands I (eventually) got a connected slave and master configured for testing.
