Which commands are failing?

Yes, please.

All of those errors appear to be related to the bad VirtualBox version
string found in your /var/lib/dpkg/status and /var/lib/dpkg/available
files (probably unrelated to your Python issues).  I'm not sure what
the problem is there, but Google points to a PLUG message indicating
that your system has been suffering from it for a while now:

  http://lists.pdxlinux.org/pipermail/plug/2013-March/077693.html

That's an old version of VirtualBox.  Are you still using it?  If not,
an "apt-get --purge remove virtualbox-3.0" might get rid of the error
messages.
