I am unable to run the server in my virtual environment since i encounter the following error after ruing an upgrade from Ubuntu 15 to Ubuntu 16.
The following block of codes details how the error occurs. I had previously encountered an error that informed to consider setting PYTHONHOME so i did that and the error changed to whats shown below. No idea what to do next to fix this. Every bit of help is very much appreciated. thanks.
