Torf, I stumbled across the same thing and modified my local repository copy. I don't know if this was the correct way for libcloud proper, but it moved me past the point where I was stuck. (There may be other places that need it, but for the APIs I'm using they're sufficient.) You'll also need to do "$ pip3 install lockfile" to use the LocalStorage driver.
