Import failure on python 2.7.10

OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 (14F1713)
I have same python version 2.7.10 for /usr/local/bin/python and /usr/bin/python, but import fails for the latter:

mac:[~]: /usr/bin/python

>>> import chef

But /usr/local/bin/python is fine:

>>> import chef

NOTE: python 2.7.10 build ver/dates are different for /usr/local/bin/python and /usr/bin/python

Also if there is a minimum python version supported - that should be listed somewhere - i couldn't find that in docs, nor in codebase, nor on PyPI PyChef page...

On my other Mac import works (newer python 2.7.10 build):
OS X El Capitan 10.11.4

$: python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Nov 10 2015, 08:39:11)

>>> chef.__version__

I guess it's the older Python 2.7.10 build (Jul 14 2015, 19:46:27) is the problem here. Possibly other older Python versions would throw same error...

Caught same issue with python 2.7.6 and pychef 0.3.0
