Wow! That’s a weird error I’ve never seen before. A little bit of googling 
suggests that it might have to do with a broken Python installation:

If I were you, I might try looking at the output of:

$ head -n1 `which beet`

which should contain a path to the Python interpreter. Then I’d check if that 
exists—if not, it might be time to reinstall Python.
