SSL certificate validation error

[superelitist]

I'm trying to run build-ami.py using Python 2.7 in Linux on Windows (Ubuntu). I had to do some extra steps that may be relevant, like installing PIP manually, but I wouldn't expect that to be a problem. Here's the error I received (pastebin since github's formatting is all janky):

Launching instance of ami-fb68f8cb...

Thoughts?
