Mike,

It seems that you have oslo.messaging installed from master (default
behavior of Devstack), while heat.sample.config is built for
oslo.messaging v 1.3.1. As a quick workaround I'd suggest to downgrade
oslo.messaging to 1.3.1 in pep8 virtual environment:
$ cd /opt/stack/heat
$ source .tox/pep8/bin/activate
$ pip install oslo.messaging==1.3.1
$ deactivate
$ tox -e pep8 # should pass now

I'd also like to know what would be the procedure to update sample
config when new version of oslo.messaging is released? Maybe we should
pin requirements to specific version of oslo library and update that
requirement along with the sample config once new version is released?
