I am having problems debugging the KyngChaos QGIS installation. I have my python set up using Anaconda, but KyngChaos ignores this and instead looks for the /Library/Frameworks version. This and other pth files scattered around (~/.qgis2 for example) means that the python path returned in QGIS is a mess of folders, including some System folders, as well as doubles etc. Somewhere along the line the path for Matplotlib is superseded, despite having installed both the Anaconda package and KyngChaos own 'framework'.
Is there any way of finding out where an individual path is appended to the whole? I am trying to track down how all the paths referenced but it's proving quite tricky and time consuming.
Comments:
So, because I installed Anaconda before QGIS, pyparsing has to be installed by first commenting out in .bash_profile the path to the Anaconda Python and use the standard python.

Got pyparsing installed from sourceforge instead. Not solved the easy_install mystery. QGIS runs, Anaconda installation runs.
