I am very new to Python and scripting and am trying to write script to delete any point feature classes in my .gdb. I have found an example, but can't get it to run. Your help is greatly appreciated.

import arcpy

arcpy.env.workspace = r"E:\GIS_255\Week5\Harmon_Wk5_GIS255\KingCounty.gdb"

import string

try:

    fcList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("","point", "")
    
    for fc in fcList:
        Lst = arcpy.Describe(fc)
        
        if string.lower(Lst.shapeType) == "point":         
            print str(fc) + " is a " + Lst.shapeType + " feature class"
        
        else:
            print str(fc) + "The shapetype is unknown"

except:
    print "Script failed"

# Set local variables
inFeatures = "points" 
outFeatures = r"E:\GIS_255\Week5\Harmon_Wk5_GIS255\output.gdb\new_points"
tempLayer = "pointsLayer"
expression = arcpy.AddFieldDelimiters(pointsLayer, "Point_ID") + " = 'busstop'" + " = 'bridges'"
 
try:
    # Execute CopyFeatures to make a new copy of the feature class
    arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(inFeatures, outFeatures)
 
    # Execute MakeFeatureLayer
    arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(outFeatures, tempLayer)
 
    # Execute SelectLayerByAttribute to determine which features to delete
    arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(tempLayer, "NEW_SELECTION", 
                                            expression)
 
    # Execute GetCount and if some features have been selected, then 
    #  execute DeleteFeatures to remove the selected features.
    if arcpy.GetCount_management(tempLayer) > 0:
        arcpy.DeleteFeatures_management(tempLayer)
         
except Exception, e:
    # If an error occurred, print line number and error message
    import traceback, sys
    tb = sys.exc_info()[2]
    print "Line %i" % tb.tb_lineno
    print e.message
