Posting a big slab of bytecode isn't going to get you anywhere.

Post:
  • Your code
  • Your error traceback verbatim, complete!
  • Where you think the problem may lie (if you have a clue)

Is the file extension .pyc ? If it is, this is compiled python source code. You need file with .py at the end

Sorry, I did not know how else to formulate the question as I have noe clue whatsoever why the bytecode is appearing. Yes, the file ends with .py

This file is compiled python. The original extension was .pyc and was copied to a .py or the extension changed.
You need to find the original .py file to run the code.
If you can't find the original python code, you can try to decompile with https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncompyle6
