ImportError: cannot import name 'HTTPConnection'

Hello,

When launching AWS-cli on Ubuntu Vivid, here is what I have:

   $ aws
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/aws", line 15, in <module>
    import awscli.clidriver

I guess this bug is linked to this Debian bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=769685
(but here it's with an older version)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I can't reproduce this on 1.7.0-1. Since this is a so much higher version than when you tested and reported it, I'll assume it's fixed now, but please reopen if you can still reproduce the problem with 1.7.0-1.
