Thank you for your time. While I am very computer literate in general, I have only started using Linux relatively recently and I am not strongly proficient with it yet. I will try to be thorough in explaining my problem.
Play on Linux was working some time ago but it no longer runs successfully on this system. I suspect a system update broke it but I don't know which one because I didn't try using PoL for perhaps three months.
I am running Kubuntu Precise Pangolin, I believe that's 12.04 but I'm not absolutely sure. The system lives on a Wubi dual-install with a Windows XP installation I occasionally need, if that matters.
System specs: AMD Phenom 9600 quad-core 4Gb RAM ATI HD3870 video card
When I realized PoL wasn't working, I tried the steps given at http://www.playonmac.com/en/topic-2530-Solutions_for_frequent_problems.html. I have reinstalled all the packages specified in section 1 and deleted the /.PlayOnLinux directory. That didn't help, so I restored the /.PlayOnLinux directory from a backup.
Attempting to run PoL from the progams list creates a PlayOnLinux link on the taskbar which doesn't link to anything, which disappears after a few seconds, followed by the crash notifier telling me a program just crashed. Attempting to run PoL from console produces the following:

It was mentioned in another thread that Python 2.7 and after may have broken PoL, but I cannot figure out how to downgrade to 2.6. Relevant package versions currently installed, if it matters:
PlayOnLinux: 4.0.14-1 Python: 2.7.3-0ubuntu2 wxPython: 2.8.12.1-6ubuntu2 and 2.6.3.2.2-5ubuntu4 gettext: 0.18.1.1-5ubuntu3 cabextract: 1.4-1 ImageMagick: 8:6.6.9.7-5ubuntu3.2 Wine: 1.4-0ubuntu4.1
Thank you for your time.
