The "<Error getting traceback - traceback.print_exception() failed>" 
part sounds like it is failing to find Python itself. Where is Python 
installed? Is it possible the user running the service can't access that 
location? I believe Python being installed in the default location could 
cause this if the server is running as any other other than the user 
which installed Python.

      Where is Python installed? Is it possible the user running the
      service can't access that location? I believe Python being
      installed in the default location could cause this if the server
      is running as any other other than the user which installed
      Python.<br>
