If you are seeing this error when implementing and running the upgrade 
check command in your project:

TypeError: Message objects do not support addition.

It is due to calling oslo_i18n.enable_lazy() somewhere in the command 
import path. That should be removed from the project since lazy 
translation is not supported in openstack and as an effort was abandoned 
several years ago. It is probably still called in a lot of "big 
tent/stackforge" projects because of initially copying it from the more 
core projects. Anyway, just remove it.

I'm talking with the oslo team about deprecating that interface so 
projects don't mistakenly use it and expect great things to happen.
