Bug Description

Binary package hint: euca2ools

euca-describe-instances appends a space to the instance state in its output.
The output should be straight tab delimited output.

This makes something the following fail:
   awk '-F\t' '$6 = "running" && { print $0 }'

Additionally the code is flawed in that it does things like:

     if instance.instance_type:
         instance_string += ' \t%s' % instance.instance_type

Ie, instance_type (and its associated tab) is only appended if instance_type is true.

In general, none of the checks should ever fail, but if they did, the output would not include an empty field, but rather *no* field.

Just noticed that this fix also fixes a bug in euca-run-instances that outputs 'None' for a instance that has no ramdisk rather than an empty string:

$ euca-run-instances --instance-type c1.medium --key mykey emi-4CD51A12
RESERVATION r-4F2E087C admin admin-default
INSTANCE i-4BCD0847 emi-4CD51A12 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 pending mykey 2010-03-03T17:01:46.98Z eki-107E1CF7 None

Neil-

Can you comment if Scott's fix is acceptable upstream, and if possible, commit it to your tree?

I'd like to get this merged into Lucid's euca2ools.
