I have to say that I use Python a great deal and I just never run into these issues. Nor have I ever even used Anaconda, I just use virtualenvs and pip and it all works. It's my guess that you are using a lot of Python libraries that are wrappers around C or C++ libraries which have dodgy cross-platform support, because I can't see another way this is happening. If so, it's hardly fair to blame Python for that...
