manage.py mturk_pending_queue is incompatible with the version of boto in the requirements file

After running ./manage.py mturk_pending_queue I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This appears to be because the version of boto that gets downloaded as part of the requirements does not incorporate James's patch.

[callison-burch]

This can be fixed by directly downloading the current version of boto (for some reason pip isn't getting the current version).

svn checkout http://boto.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ boto-read-only
cd wikitrans/wt-app
ln -s ~/Code/boto-read-only/boto

We will close this issue once we verify that this version gets downloaded with pip and the requirements file.
