[IPython-dev] IPython Parallel KeyError

I've updated to the latest IPython and I'm now seeing a KeyError when trying 
to instantiate a parallel Client as neither `key` nor `signature_scheme` are 
in the `extra_args` dict. 

Is this a bug? I'm sure this config has worked previously.


In [4]: from IPython.parallel import Client
        rc = Client(profile='mygrid')

In case it helps the ipcontroller-client.json file is shown below (with 
values blanked out):
