The part '|Anaconda 1.8.0 (x86_64)|' in that string is not standard
Python conform and as a result, the platform.py parser fails.

You'll have to open a ticket with the Anaconda vendor to get this
fixed.

This should parse correctly with the stock platform.py parser.

The only explanation I have is that the platform.py installed
on your machine is not the original one that comes with the
Python 2.7.5 we distribute from python.org.

I don't have a Mac OSX notebook available to check, so can't
really help.
