It is telling your that the command to interpret this script (line 1
which begins with #!) doesn't exist.  You need to change it
(#!/usr/bin/python) to point to where your python executable is located.

If you don't know where the command is located and you are running unix
you could use the following commands to locate

python
(exit out of the program)
hash | grep python
(it will list out the location to your copy of python).

hash is a function of your shell that keeps track of where programs you
have invoked are located.
