As others have suggested either your setup is screwed, or you have a file that is masking one in the stdlib. Certainly there is no way that you should be seeing any reference to Visual Studio. Does Anaconda give you a repair option that you could try? Failing that how about installing Python 3.4 from here https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-344/ in parallel with the Anaconda setup? It least it would give you a chance to make progress.
