Which branch is this in? master ?

Also, this line makes it seem like it's not finding SQLAlchemy:

ImportError: cannot import name 'sort_query' from 'sqlalchemy_utils'

At a guess, some of the dependencies aren't installed (yet).

[Avey777]

"Now the dependencies of Redash for each Python version are too messy. I have successfully launched it using Python 3.8."

[justinclift]

Yeah. We clearly need to write up some documentation for new people to get things working, preferably using a Python virtual environment for neatness. 😄
