Your source code block evaluates fine on my setup:

#+BEGIN_SRC python
print "Hello World"
return 1+2
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: 3

The error message you are getting refers to a bug that was apparently
fixed some time ago.  What version of Org mode are you running?

Also, did you tell Org mode that you will be evaluating Python code?
You should have something like this in .emacs:

  (org-babel-do-load-languages
   'org-babel-load-languages
   '((R . t)
     (C . t)
     (ditaa . t)
     (dot . t)
     (emacs-lisp . t)
     (gnuplot . nil)
     (haskell . nil)
     (latex . t)
     (lisp . t)
     (ocaml . nil)
     (org . t)
     (perl . t)
     (python . t)  # This is the line you'll need
     (ruby . nil)
     (screen . nil)
     (sh . t)
     (sql . nil)
     (sqlite . t)))

hth,
Tom
