Note: It can be problematic to point /usr/bin/python to a version
different from the default for a given Debian release.

Looking at the post-installation script, it seems that it expects a list
of delayed packages in the file /var/lib/pycentral/delayed-pkgs. The
script then tries to run "pycentral pkginstall" on each package in the
list. This goes wrong for you because pycentral cannot find your
manually-installed keepnote package. I would therefore try to remove all
occurrences of "keepnote" from the delayed-pkgs file and then run
"aptitude install -f" (or "apt-get install -f" if you prefer).
