Some tasks fail due to the 404 error when downloading a python script.
Could this be because the script name contains a double .py extension?

Thanks for flagging this — you nailed the root cause. The double .py extension was caused by a config entry that included the file extension when it shouldn't have. The work generator appends .py automatically, so it ended up as .py.py.

This has been fixed: the config keys are corrected, all affected workunits have been aborted, and a safety check has been added to the feeder to strip .py if it ever slips through again. New tasks for those experiments are already being generated with the correct URLs.
