[James Page (james-page)]

oslo.message@trusty does declare an entry point for 'rabbit' as a driver key:

oslo.messaging.drivers =
    rabbit = oslo.messaging._drivers.impl_rabbit:RabbitDriver
    qpid = oslo.messaging._drivers.impl_qpid:QpidDriver
    zmq = oslo.messaging._drivers.impl_zmq:ZmqDriver
    # To avoid confusion
    kombu = oslo.messaging._drivers.impl_rabbit:RabbitDriver
    # This is just for internal testing
    fake = oslo.messaging._drivers.impl_fake:FakeDriver

So I'm a bit puzzled as to why this is happening.

Any chance you have a pip installed version of oslo.messaging installed? that might cause this type of error.

Marking incomplete/low for now - please take a look and see if this is the case or not.
