This can generally be solved by brew reinstalling Python @2

brew install http://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/86a44a0a552c673a05f11018459c9f5faae3becc/Formula/[email protected]

Note that brew install python@2 may report an Error: Error: No available formula with the name "python@2"
