py2-ipaddress was introduced as a dependency by docker-py 1.8.0.
Short-term solution would be to cap <1.8.0 in global-requirements (which
will make us fallback to 1.7.2 and remove py2-ipaddress).
If the two modules are conflicting we should determine which one is the
best and converge to it. ipaddress seems a lot more used and pulled by a
lot of packages. So long-term solution would be to make docker-py
upstream depend on ipaddress instead...
