I have a machine that I can keep running 24/7 (well I have electricity
24/7, Internet connection probably about 20/7) and have already
offered (and been trying) to run patchy but with limited success this
week.

I haven't bothered Graham as he is on limited time now, which can be
better spent I am sure that walking me through python scripts.

However when I run patchy I am getting

etc etc.

and I don't know where I need to look from here.

Bear in mind this is on my lilydev machine where I can manually
download/git pull/push etc. So I know it is getting the code but not
sure what the other message means because it is coming from git (I
cannot find the 'fatal' strings in any of the .py files).

I'm struggling to find time between my coffee and cornflakes as well
as doing doc patches, so if someone can shed any light or point me
somewhere I can move on with Patchy.
