That looks like bash trying to run Python code, so I'd look at
something being wrong with the shebang processing. What's
/opt/local/bin/python? Is it a symlink to something else? Some systems
won't allow any such dereferencing, others (including modern Linux)
allow a maximum of ten or thereabouts, counting one for every symlink
or shebang'd script. If /opt/local/bin/python is a bouncer script that
itself has a shebang, that might be your problem.
