I updated my custom libtensorflow.so with bazel and I think everything went well, but test TF is failing in Julia so I wonder if the following is correct? pip is updated, Python has latest. Error on test begins with:

> Error: Fatal error on process 2  
> │ exception =  
> │ PyError ($(Expr(:escape, :(ccall(#= /home/colin/.julia/packages/PyCall/0jMpb/src/pyfncall.jl:44 =# @pysym(:PyObject\_Call), PyPtr, (PyPtr, PyPtr, PyPtr), o, pyargsptr, kw))))) \<class ‘TypeError’\>  
> │ TypeError(“can’t pickle traceback objects”,)

and my setup is:

Updating TF today showed a move from 0.10.2 to 0.10.4. TensorFlow tests now complete as expected with no error in the testing process, but with 2 tests in error:

```julia
rnn dynamic length 
    TensorFlow.nn.rnn_cell.LSTMCell

```
