Which version of py-mode.el are you using (C-h v py-version)?
On my system it shows 

  Value: "3.105"

That version is slightly broken, it runs the Python interpreter
in the py-which-shell buffer-local variable. This variable is set from
py-python-command on M-1 C-c C-t (py-toggle-shells).

Python will choke on % as a comment character.

The following snippet shows how to set the variables including a
workaround for the buglet.

--------- snip --------
import sys
print sys.version[:3]

# Local variables:
# py-python-command: "python2.1"
# py-which-shell: "python1.5"
# End:
--------- snip --------
