Marc,

Thanks for your help.

What I did was just copied the _sys_version_parser from the standard python
platform.py into the anaconda version of platform.py and it fixed the
issue.  So it looks like Anaconda made a change to your regular expression.

Thanks for getting on the issue so quick and staying with it, though.
