I am sorry to read that you had issues with python and texlive. System issues are always unpredictable… Note that this is the first time I see the python issue, and I could not have warned you at all here. I am however happy you managed to solve everything through searches online. At least, now, if others have issues I will now refer to your post ^^
I take also the opportunity to tag @gentleshaid here, as I know he has issues with entering the path to the event sample. Here, it is better to enter the full path to the events, as you did.
I actually like to solve problems so it's ok for me :)
Thanks
Ahaha! You can count on me for extra challenges, sooner or later. ^^
