just wanted to add the note again on why all the python tests changed…

… (hundreds)

I did run on my kevin1 branch using mr-0xd10 jenkins and it looks pretty good.
this merges everything from kevin1 into master (not this last commit but the prior ones)

i.e.
  change the boilerplate
if localhost:
    build_cloud()
else:
    build_cloud_with_hosts()
to be just
h2o.init()

kind of like R. goes with new usecloud= param in h2o.init() or in config json file (with -cj) or on command line as -uc <ip:port>/--usecloud <ip:port> cleaneded old h2o_hosts imports and some other things while at it. seems to work. will do a full run on this branch before pushing to master
