I have a python script that I have written. It works perfectly as intended when I run ./myscript.py and does not error out, continues to work for days until I shut it off manually.
I have also created a SystemD service written for my python script. However, when running the service it will error out halfway through every other round. SystemD restarts the script and it works perfectly for 1 round and errors half way through.
Here is the error from journalctl -xe -f:

The script is single threaded with error catches. I am not getting any errors from the script.
This is on an Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS server. I have watched the memory when the service crashes, the net connections, the processors and have not seen anything that stands out.
