Hey Will,
Unless the error you received indicated that the test failed due to a
nonexistent method, we should be fine.
I'm looking at this from my phone at the time being. Can you tell me if
your error indicated anything like that?
Thanks!
Mike

I reran the failing tests, which got rid of one of the errors, but the
FAIL: Test create, assign, remove of an Internal LB with roundrobin http
traffic to 3 vm's in a Single VPC error appeared in both runs.
Please verify if this PR has any relationship to that functionality and we
will go from there. Thx...

> Hi Mike,
> classmethod's first argument is always its class as it is always bound to
> the class, which is not the case with normal methods. Thus, both of the
> above methods can in essence still co-exist in base.py as they serve
> different purposes.
> In the latter classmethod, you need to pass your host object ID as one of
> the argument while calling it with its class name as its first argument.
> e.g. Host.enableMaintenance(self.apiclient, host_1.id)
> Note: "Host" is the class name of the above methods in base.py. "host_1" is
> your host object.
> In the former method, you just need to call it with your host object as its
> first argument, it takes the host ID from the passed host object.
> e.g. host_1.enableMaintenance(self.apiclient)
