As Hans pointed out, you are looking for python, not Python (the frameworks are named Python, the executable is python).  Sorry about that.

To eliminate the output from TimeMachine (assuming it is using an external drive or a TimeCapsule), add one more option to the find command:

$ sudo find -x / -name python -print  (or follow his directions for piping to a file).

The -x option prevents find from descending into a volume with a different device number from the one you started on.
