neutron_lbaas.tests.unit.agent.test_agent.TestLbaasService.test_main failure in Python 3.6

[Thomas Goirand]

While building the neutron-lbaas package in Debian Sid with Python 3.6, I get the below failure. As this looks like a broken test rather than a software bug, I've disabled running the unit test at package build time, however, it'd be nice to have it fixed.

My wet finger double guess without looking too much, is that there's a string type issue in this test that Python 3.6 doesn't like.

neutron-lbaas is now maintained by the octavia team. I forward this to octavia launchpad but it is now frozen. More recommended way is to file a bug on octavia storyboard (neutron-lbaas project).

Abandoned after re-enabling the Octavia launchpad.
