Hmm. I've had machines with similar states, though never with both Anaconda and Homebrew.
Instead, I often had (in addition to the rest of the system-level snarl) isolated per-app Python interpreters that were specified & constructed with Buildout for development testing & deployment.
Though I don't quite get the arrow from Homebrew 2.7 to Python.org 2.6. Is that actually a thing or hyperbole?

It's fiction, of course. Art often has to exaggerate to make a point. I exaggerated too, just to remain in the artistic rather than the technical spirit of the comics. But there are some important bits of truth there, like in every good joke.
Of course. I just wasn't sure which bin that bit belonged to.

It's not that I couldn't eventually resolve the current state, it's that at the moment a few programs I regularly run work, in spite of the different dependencies they have, and I know that starting "cleaning up" will cost too much time.
