Syntax error when trying to run debug configuration for remote interpretor from PyCharm - django

Question

I'm setting up a Google App Engine Django project to run in a Vagrant environment for easy setup/teardown of the system and am using PyCharm as the IDE for it all. I'm able to successfully get the server to run using PyCharm on the remote machine, but if I try to use the remote debugger to start a debug session, PyCharm gives me a nondescript error:
Error running webapp: Can't run remote python interpreter: Couldn't obtain remote socket from output , stderr File "", line 1
import
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I'll try to include as much info about the setup as I can:
Windows 10 host machine, Ubuntu 14.04 guest
Python is version 2.7.10
/home/vagrant/www/shell/python-su.sh setup as python interpreter. Just passing arguments to sudo /usr/bin/python $# to make it work in vagrant/GAE
GAE Directory in PyCharm is set to /home/vagrant/google_appengine/ to make it work on the remote machine
Here's a screenshot of my PyCharm Configuration Settings for launching debug client:
All of this matches what I do for the run configuration and that works fine. It's only the debug configuration throwing this error.

From the help documentation for PyCharm, I found this article detailing how to turn on more logging to the PyCharm log file. Add this to the log.xml file located in the /bin/ directory of the PyCharm Program Files directory:
<category name="#com.jetbrains.plugins.webDeployment">
<priority value="DEBUG"/>
</category>
Looking at the log file showed what command it was trying to run, which I was able to run by SSH-ing into the machine to run it myself. From there, I was able to figure it it was coming from my sudo python file. I had to wrap the $# in quotes to get it to work properly. The run was working because the arguments were simple enough that it didn't matter that it wasn't quoted. The final python sudo shell file looks like this:
sudo /usr/bin/python "$#"
