Good: the page size detection seems to work now.

What happens if you just call python and type

    exit(1)

at its prompt?

At any rate, you are apparently trying to typeset a file
screech-and-boink.ly that is not in your search path.  Apart from "exit"
seemingly going haywire on your system, the problem is the absence of
screech-and-boink.ly.  What does your lilybook.lytex look like?
