This is impossible... can't be your full script. You have stuff like 
find_machine, lock_machine, find_snapshot and what not all over the 
place, and that's not how our API methods are called. Do you have some 
wrapper code which you censored out of the script? Need to know what 
you're really doing.

You could also try doing this with vboxshell.py, which is a big piece of 
code (not necessarily pretty, but it can serve as inspiration for how to 
use a significant portion of the API).

We really need to be certain what your script is doing, because so far 
it's not making any sense. This should fail straight at "vm = 
vbox.find_machine('win 8.1')".
