Description##

I am working through the IBM BLockchain curriculum. The problem arises during the fifth tutorial, "invoking...from an external application." Everything works until I have to run the 'start' script, at which point I get the errors shown below and in the attached log file.

Expected Behavior

According to the documentation the contract and transaction submission should be a success.

Actual Behavior

The 'start' script terminates pointing out grpc module issues.

Possible Fix

N/A

Steps to Reproduce

I followed the instructions exactly as outlined in the attached tutorial.
Attached a5.pdf

Existing issues

This is the closest issue to mine. By all appearances the problems are completely different, though.
