That's an error message by your shell. You made your script executable, but
forgot to add something like
#!/usr/bin/env python
as its first line.
NB. it's quite common that an error originates before the place where the
interpreter complains; it would have been a good idea to post the five lines
before the explicitly erroneous one, too.
