It looks like you've installed Twisted in /usr/local/lib, which is not where a Twisted install should ever go on OS X.  Either install into a virtualenv or use the system install at /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python.

I can't speculate as to how you've mis-installed this particular version of Twisted though :-).
