def start_agent(self):
''' get endpoints to communicate with manager '''
self.connector.set_agent(self)
# super(PyonApeAgent,self).start_agent() ---> parent of PyonApeAgent called, ie- super(super())
# super(ChannelCommunicator,self).start_agent() ---> ERROR: cannot load class
PyonApeAgent.start_agent(self) ## ugly, but invokes correct superclass
