I am more included to suspect the python script. I notice it has a fairly current mod time. Did you perchance fetch it from a Windows system? I am guessing that it has a windows-style line ending. So the first #! line isn't: #!/usr/bin/python^J but actually: #!/usr/bin/python^M^J Thus the kernel's looking for an executable whose name ends in a carraige return (^M). Naturally it doesn't find it. You can fix this with the dos2unix command.
