that's odd.  I can't really think of what's wrong but it seems that
something is broken at a very low level.  Do any other command line
scripts work that you've installed?  How did you install Python?  If
that doesn't turn up any clues the best way to be sure you have a
working Python is compile it from source and run its own test suite.
Run configure then make test
