Yes I am aware that and adjusted shebang for my system but still get the mentioned error. Could the error be related to python version? I have python 2.7.

That would work if the shebang were correct. You need to specify the absolute path to python, for example:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python

if that is where python lives on your system, or
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python

The print FUNCTION in the code is a version 3.x method, the print statement no longer exists in these versions.

However the print statement is what you require so should be Version 2.x and lower.

There were/are several differences between versions up to 2.7.x and 3.0.0 and above.

Yes, the issue was the "print()". In my earlier post, I used Python version 3.4 (Anaconda on Windows 7) where print() is a function. Your version is 2.7 where print is a statement. The syntax is different in versions 3 and less-than-3.
More information here:
Code:
https://docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html

And the fix for version less than 3 (this is on Cygwin on Windows 7):

Code:
$
$ python --version
Python 2.7.8
$
$ cat pivot_epi_dist_ver1.py
#!python
pivot = []
index = -2
fin = open('epi_dist.txt', 'rt')
for line in fin:
    line = line.strip()
    if line == '':
        continue
    if line[0:4] == 'Epi.':
        index += 1
        iter = 0
    else:
        nums = line.split()
        for num in nums:
            if index < 0:
                pivot.append([num])
            else:
                pivot[iter].append(num)
                iter += 1
fin.close()
for row in pivot:
    print " ".join(row)
