Salesforce Initialization Error

[Rich Hart]

Python 3.4 on Ubuntu 15.04 does not like how the subclass is referencing simple_salesforce methods. I've ran this same test on in python 3.5 on OS X 10.11and it passes.

Look's like all it needed was some better error handling. This was a problem with how the accounts.salesforce.Salesforce class handled errors when settings.SALESFORCE attribute was missing. Using try ... exempt ... without citing an exception type was too general and confused the interpreter. Seems to only be a issue with Ubuntu's version of python.
