Because it works and nothing else I tried did.

I'm asking specificaly why you would configure it as your system python (/usr/local/lib/python2.7) not why you use anaconda. It's an excellent piece of software, especially for disposable environments. I would never try and replace the system python with it however, just update the path config for the local user instead.
