This. But I must warn you that it will still fail, giving you an error like this:

```auto
  File "/Users/mtaylor/nta/nupic/src/nupic/encoders/base.py", line 351, in getBucketIndices
    assert False, "Should be implemented in base classes that are not " \
AssertionError: Should be implemented in base classes that are not containers for other encoders

```

Until we get that [bug](https://discourse.numenta.org/t/would-breaking-nupic-serialization-backwards-compatibility-affect-you/1452?source_topic_id=1956) fixed.
