That is not a Python error, that's a complaint of your shell.
If you make a Python script executable you also have to insert the proper
hash-bang line. In the case of Python 2
#!/usr/bin/python2
will probably work. Example shell session:
$ cat tmp.py
def demo():
print "heureka"
demo()
$ ./tmp.py
./tmp.py: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./tmp.py: line 1: `def demo():'
$ cat tmp2.py
#!/usr/bin/python2
def demo():
print "heureka"
demo()
$ ./tmp2.py
heureka
$
