> Paul,  I was having the same problem as you, and based on the invaluable
lead I got from this thread, I found that my sendProfile.py script was the
culprit since it is missing the python directive:

#!/usr/bin/python

I run myth from ATrpms packages, so I am not sure how this directive is
being dropped in so many python scripts, but I reported similar problems
with other scripts to the atrpms user mailing list:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/atrpms/users/16430

No response as yet from the packager(s).  Anyway, once I fixed that
directive in the sendProfile script, the problem went away!
