I'm no expert on Python errors, but let's suppose it's in some kind of
tizzy about your video.  To eliminate that possibility, try installing
in text mode.  You do that by putting this at the boot prompt:

  linux text

You will still get all the GUI stuff installed.  You just won't see as
much eye candy during the install.  See also

for other install solutions.
