I would verify that /bin/py is the actual location of your python
interperter. That's a really weird location.

I have verified that ^M at the end _will_ break it. I also verified
that having a space doesn't matter, either. Both work:
#!/usr/bin/python
#! /usr/bin/python
When you retyped it, what editor did you use?
When you cat the file:
cat testerlybar.py
What does the output look like?
If you have xxd installed (you probably do):
xxd testerlybar.py
What does the output look like? This will help us see EXACTLY what's in
the file. It will look something like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ xxd foo.py
0000000: 2321 202f 7573 722f 6269 6e2f 7079 7468 #! /usr/bin/pyth
0000010: 6f6e 0a70 7269 6e74 2022 4865 6c6c 6f22 on.print "Hello"
0000020: 0a .
Bottom line, the error means bash can not find the application you told
it to use, so something is wrong with the path you have in the file.
