Preface: My OS X Python installation is a mess. I started using the system Python way before I found out about Homebrew. And so I\'ve been using sudo
I'm pretty sure that brew reinstall python
somehow fixed a bunch of the issues I was having. I then had to also nuke (i.e., rm -rf
) a few things in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
