That is bizarre; Python should not be touching /bin/ls at all (if you're at
all familiar with POSIX, 'ls' is the "list contents of directory" command).
I'd be more inclined to suspect that your XCode has been corrupted somehow;
perhaps reinstalling that might help. I wouldn't expect LLDB to depend on
Python either, but who knows.

I don't think your installation of Python 3.3 is at fault here, since as
you noted the error is dealing with Python 2.7. I believe that's simply the
OS built-in Python. You might try opening up a commandline in Terminal and
running this:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

which ought to run the 2.7 Python REPL (read-eval-print loop, a simple
program that lets you test out Python code). If that fails, then your OS
built-in Python has probably been damaged.

Hope that helps.
