@mobusr: Err, that doesn't make sense. When did you install Python, and which version of the package did you use?
EDIT: That is, unless the shebang itself was mangled by carriage returns. But then just dos2unix'ing it should be enough, the python2.7 symlink has been there as long as the python one, so moving from one to the other wouldn't change anything, which is what I was getting at
