[SOLVED] GIMP Python and websockets

I've used GIMP 2 and WebSockets (in java and js) extensively, but I'm new to Python.

I want to use a websocket client in my gimp plugin, so I got myself Python 2.7.14 (which comes with pip), and I've run install instructions found on this websocket implementation: https://github.com/websocket-client/websocket-client

I saw that it depends on 'six' and 'backports.ssl_match_hostname', so I used pip to install both, six was already installed, and backports updated.

My plugin is as follows:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from gimpfu import *
import websocket

def python_pytest(img, layer) :
    # Actual plug-in code will go here
    ws = websocket.WebSocket()
    ws.connect("ws://example.com/websocket", http_proxy_host="proxy_host_name", http_proxy_port=3128)
    return

register(
    "python_fu_pytest", #Name so other scripts can find us
    "Collaborative Editing", #Short Desc
    "WebSocket based collaborative editing", #Long description
    "Jonathan Crowder", #Author
    "Open Source", #Copyright Holder
    "2017", #Copyright Date
    "NetCanvas", #Plugin name in menus
    "*", #Image types we can handle
    [], #Params shown to user
    [], #Return values
    python_pytest, #Main function
    menu="<Image>/NetCanvas") #Where to show in menus
main()

If I get rid of websocket related code, it appears to work just fine, but I get this error with the above code:

(gimp-2.8.exe:5508): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp-2.8.exe: gimp_wire_read(): error
Querying plug-in: 'C:\Users\Jonathan\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins\netcanvas.py'

(gimp-2.8.exe:5508): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp-2.8.exe: gimp_wire_read(): error

I'm no pilgrim to debugging, but there just isn't enough information for me to figure out whats going wrong. I got that output using command:

gimp-2.8 --verbose --console-messages

What am I doing wrong? Can gimp python plugins not read my installed libs? Is there a way to get more information out of gimp? I thought --verbose would actually be.. well, verbose.

Edit- Just to be clear, here is my entire log, incase you think I'm not including the juicy debugging information..:
