It seems to be saying there's a python problem.  Can you help me decode
it, or send it to a member of your team?  If there's a better way to get
in touch with the team, then let me know.  I'm probably breaking some
rule of etiquette by contacting you directy.

I tried the same thing on my laptop and it worked perfectly.  It's also
a 12.04 system.
