Dave's correct.  That "^M" represents ctlr-m, and is the displayable
equivalent of the "Carriage Return" character.  Windows text files uses
CR/LF (Carriage Return, Line Feed) characters to delimit lines of text in
text files. Unix uses only "Line Feed".  So the extra carriage return
character is taken to be part of the text at the end of the shebang line.
 And "/usr/bin/python" is not the same as "/usr/bin/python^M"

Here's some background:

How and where did you create the file?  If with an editor, which editor?
