Running ./mach bootstrap on a fresh macOS 10.13.5 install yields the following error: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9089160

Running again with sudo yields the following error: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9089161

My environment:
brew --version

And what do you see when you run `brew list` directly?

FWIW my main python version is 2.7.15 (first one in path), which was installed via homebrew.

I'm, uh, not sure why it doesn't like the output of `brew list`. And I'm unable to reproduce this.

I think the best we can do is improve the error reporting in bootstrap to give you better tools to debug.

Workaround: 
1. delete `$MOZCONFIG`
2. delete `~/.mozconfig`
3. just use a `mozconfig` file in your root directory.

Any combination of 1 and 2 makes mach unhappy.
