Attempting to configure landscape-client on a py3 system falls over due to string/byte-string conversion issues
Here's a sample run from MAAS:

Ryan validated py3 falling over just on basic ConfigObj.write() attempts:

You've an error in your cloud-config file
ubuntu@
cloud-config files need a .cfg extension to be read.
If I use your landscape config this way, I see landscape-client installed and file written.
% cat landscape.yaml
#cloud-config
landscape:

ping_url: "http://
data_path: "/var/lib/

% lxc launch ubuntu-daily:artful --config=

% lxc exec measured-hyena -- dpkg --list | grep landscape

it appears to be working fine. If you feel there's still a bug, please re-open.
