This line is masking whatever the actual error is. If you look at the source, you'll see it's doing "except Exception,e:" and trapping whatever the real problem is. I'd suggest commenting out the try/except and see what error comes up instead. That should tell us more about the problem.

Not much better, I'm afraid:-(
