Jacob, your writing style is incredibly long-winded and hard to follow.
Try to build shorter sentences instead of this stream of consciousness, and 
focus on the actual problem.

"python bombs out"

is not a meaningful problem description. A traceback might be.

That said, I probably cannot help with your particular problem, so feel free 
to ignore me...
