Try:
chmod o-w /usr/local/bin
Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities/) has a "Verify Disk Permissions" button in the First Aid tab. Click on your hard drive partition and hit the disk permissions button. See if that fixes your error.
-Roberto.
But you may have bigger problems. Somehow the /usr/local/bin directory is world editable meaning any malicious script could copy another script or program into that directory. The problem is that the directory is in your shells PATH.

When running a python script, I suddenly have the following error message

I have tried re-installing textmate, and re-installing all the bundles to no avail.
Looking through the email list I cannot make heads or tails of what the solution is. Any suggestions are appreciated.
