Deluge Daemon fails to start on Ubuntu 15 systemd error: code=exited, status=203/EXEC

Trying to install deluge by following this guide on a new Ubuntu 15.10 VM. I have looked at the two most likely linked questions, but I can't discern an answer and the error message is different from the one I get.

When I run: -

systemctl start deluged
systemctl status deluged

I get: -

systemd[1]: deluged.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart.
systemd[1]: Stopped Deluge Bittorrent Client Daemon.
systemd[1]: deluged.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
systemd[1]: Failed to start Deluge Bittorrent Client Daemon.
systemd[1]: deluged.service: Unit entered failed state.
systemd[1]: deluged.service: Failed with result 'start-limit'.

Deluged web works fine, but I can't get this running at all. I've not fiddled with the config file at all, except to change the unet mask to something a little more permissive.

Any help gratefully received, thanks!

I had this on Debian today. Took me a while, but found that it was due to a broken Setuptools install in Python. Try:

 sudo pip install setuptools --upgrade wget -O - | sudo python
