Glad it worked!

We haven't made it easy for you in devstack, though.  As you can see
from the patch, it requires coordination across a few different teams to
make the appropriate changes to get all tests passing and the patch
merged.  When everyone's back from the summit, I'll see if I can get a
coordinated push across teams to get this done for Stein milestone 2.

This won't solve the larger problem of Glance not running in uWSGI,
though.  I'd refer people interested in having that happen to my
statement about this issue in the Queens release notes [0]; the
situation described there still stands.
