first of, do not pacman -Sy package, either do pacman -Su package, or -Syu ... http://ompldr.org/vYjhsYQ

second, try another mirror, and also try pacman -Syyu to force the dbs to refresh

No, it's fine.

$ gpg --homedir /etc/pacman.d/gnupg --verify python2-2.7.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.sig
gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on homedir `/etc/pacman.d/gnupg'

gpg: NOTE: trustdb not writable
gpg: Good signature from "Stéphane Gaudreault <stephane@archlinux.org>"

Delete the package, try another mirror.
