This is effectively blocking test jobs on Rawhide.
Comment 1 Dan Callaghan 2015-11-13 05:54:15 UTC 
It seems like this was a change made in Twisted 15.3.0 as part of porting the XMLRPC support to Python 3.

https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/7795#comment:35

Although there is no particularly good reason for the change, considering that XML has its own mechanism for declaring the character encoding *and* it's assumed to be UTF-8 by default.

Fedora 23 is shipping Twisted 15.1.0 for now, whereas rawhide recently went to 15.4.0.

Since the charset= param is hardcoded in Twisted there is no easy way we can patch this beah, even as a workaround. So the only workaround for now would be to install python-twisted < 15.3.0.
