None of these would have worked before would they? They don't reference
any objects.

You should be able to do

  launchpad.load('https://api.edge.launchpad.net/1.0/ubuntu')

where 1.0 matches the version of the webservice you are using.

Note that doing this is fragile, and launchpad.load should support
relative URIs so that it isn't.

In the meantime you can do

  launchpad.load(str(launchpad._root_uri) + ubuntu)

Thanks,
