TypeError calling sharing service getPillarGranteeData

[Curtis Hovey]

This example of API
    service = lp.load('/+services/sharing')
    service.getPillarGranteeData(pillar=project)

Raise a TypeError error because wadllib resource.url returned a URI instead a string

This is the hack in my script to allow me to use this method:
# Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands,
# hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.
def safe_build_url(self, param_values=None, **kw_param_values):
    """Return the request URL to use to invoke this method.

    The unsafe method raises an error for
    lp.load('/+services/sharing')
    because the wadl resource.uri it gets a URI instead of a str.

    try:
        from urllib.parse import urlencode

This is the example script that where I call the method. It also contains the hack to wadllib.

This bug is really a dupe of Bug #681767. We might want to explore fixing this bug in launchpad instead of lazr.restfulclient or wadllib.

This work because the full URL is used to load the service.
    service = lp.load('https://api.launchapd.net/devel/+services/sharing')
    service.getPillarGranteeData(pillar=project)
