Hi @Cosmic,
Sorry you're seeing this issue. The CPU is definitely on the older end of things, but in principle it should work. I have this script for debugging this part of the loading cycle:
If you could download and run that in your environment:
python qiime_more_info.py
we should see it load each plugin and print each import performed in the process. I still expect a core dump, but the last thing printed is the likely culprit.
