OK, this has nothing to do with Python version - you're using a new BitBake 
version with the OE classic metadata and the two are not compatible for the 
reason shown in the error - comments are no longer allowed within multi-line 
expressions.

There are three choices:

a) Switch back to an earlier version of BitBake (e.g. 1.12.x)
b) Move up to OE-Core [1]
c) Go through and fix all of these comments

Cheers,
Paul
