In this specific case, it might work, please propose update of the
Glance pin in rdoinfo tags/ussuri-uc.yml
Glance was pinned in https://review.rdoproject.org/r/24257 with the
link to an upstream commit which maybe broke py2 at that time but
upstream py2 compatibility seems to have been fixed in the meantime,
latest centos7-master-head trunk build worked:
https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7-master-head/24/56/2456c7d0000e8e3900e5812a820bbc31bc4d1cf1_44422ac3/rpmbuild.log

This will not work in general and is not sustainable, after upstream
drops py2 test coverage, py2 incompatibility can be introduced at any
time!

Cheers,
