Hi,

I've noticed Travis CI started to fail on our master branch. I've identified the following issues:

- tox tests 'test_rpcclient_context' fail with "AttributeError: 'API' object has no attribute 'Backend'"

These were added by a recently pushed PR#1047 [1]. The tests passed for the PR, but they were executed 2 months! ago [2]. In the mean time, the docker image used by Travis was updated to F27, and it was therefore never tested with this version. I guess that's the reason we're seeing these failures.

- python2 jobs are failing

I haven't tracked down this issue, but I have a feeling it might be related to the PR above as well. There are BytesWarnings in the httpd log.


I propose we revert PR#1047 if it is indeed causing the failures. I've opened a revert PR [3] to trigger tests.
