Did you also try it with the "find" variant in addition to just 
the "which" version?  This would find Python if it wasn't on the 
$PATH.

Well, if Python's not installed, the next step is _getting_ it 
installed -- whether having your admin install it globally (I 
mean, who *doesn't* install python?! ;-)  or you install it 
locally in your home directory as detailed at [1] where you 
download the source and compile from scratch (assuming you have a 
C compiler available).

If you can't get Python installed, then yes, it's game-over :)
