@dpadron: Which version of python?

[dpadron]

Hi noliveleger

Centos 7
Python 2.7.5

[noliveleger]

Can you try with a latest version of python 2.7 or python 3.4 and higher?

[dpadron]

regards
I have updated Python to 3.6 and the problem continues.
SW. Centos 7
Pythin 3.6

Someone who can guide me how to solve this problem.

If I select the option: 1) On your workstation, if it advances, but when I select option 2) On a server, the error is generated.

I need to change port 80 and 443, to be able to run Kobo-Tools

@dpadron: Should you try python3 run.py to use python3.
Which version it returns when you type python --version
Otherwise you need to upgrade python 2.7 to latest minor patch. https://bugs.python.org/issue20014
