[cs615asa] HW3 Getting the hostname

[Tejas]

I noticed that if my environment variable for run instances is =-k 
ec2key when it's read and used in my Python app, it adds an additional 
leading space so it is seen as -k  ec2key which throws an error on EC2 
since it's looking for ' ec2key' not 'ec2key'. I was able to workaround 
this by setting the environment variable = -kec2key and that actually 
works perfectly.

Anyone know the reason for this and how I could remove the leading space 
from being added?
