Not 100% sure. First learn which python is the default one for your OS with
	which python

Geany executes your script using an OS commant defined under build/run command. You will probably find there
	python "%f"

Don't know why this does not properly launch python, but you should try setting one of the python version's full path instead
	/usr/bin/python "%f"

You can dynamically change version if needed by setting the path found under
	which python2.5
	which python3.0

[this is maybe a possible 'how', but I would like to know the 'why']
