I can't figure out if this is an El Capitan issue, python issue. Tried brew doctor and system is ready.

This problem is most probably caused by Brew Installed python.

The python official website provides downloads for macOS, you should download and install the official package.

The official installer will fix the python link automatic, then issue solved.

It turned out it was a python issue, after installing a new version of python. Running this solved the issue: 

hash -r python
