Cant start daemon

Hello! I've installed btsync on Ubuntu 20 but can't start daemon

`service btsync status

Here's my config
{ "storage_path" : "/var/lib/btsync/", "display_new_version": false, "disk_low_priority" : true, "lan_encrypt_data" : true, "rate_limit_local_peers" : false, "folder_rescan_interval" : 600, "folder_defaults.use_relay" : true, "folder_defaults.use_tracker" : true, "folder_defaults.known_hosts" : "", "webui" : { "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888", "force_https" : true, "ssl_certificate" : "/etc/btsync/debconf-default.crt", "ssl_private_key" : "/etc/btsync/debconf-default.key" } }

And in /tmp/sync.log I found something

I've tried to update OS, reinstall and reconfigure btsync but nothing helps.

I'm assuming the same issue as #21 since Python 2 isn't installed by default anymore. 😭

Unformatately, we're going to see a lot of Python 2 apps start to die off over the next couple year, this project will likely be one of them. I'm not a python dev, so I can't do the upgrade.
I come from .NET, and .NET can run 20 year old compiled binaries in the modern runtimes - so I'm used to (or spoiled of?) long term binary and behavior compatibility. This move by Python will fragment the ecosystem for many years to come, kind of sad.

The most strange thing about this is that on some hosts it works fine but on several of them I got this error.

I've checked Python 2.7 is installed latest version.
