Hi all, I use smart to update and maintain my system and have had no problems with it until about 4 days ago. I believe it started (but not sure) when I was playing around with python and it looks like python errors. Here is what happens when I try to do anything with smart.

Can anyone translate and/or tell me how to fix this please? Thanks.
