Ok, figured it out. Apparently there are a lot of issues with this combination and how SublimeLinter ferret outs the path.
It's less than ideal but in the User settings for the SublimeLinter, I added the following to the paths for OS X:
"paths": {
"linux": [],
"osx": [
"/usr/local/Cellar/pyenv/20141012/versions/2.7.8/bin/"
],
"windows": []
},
This points to the pyenv I created for the installed Python.
