I received the same error working on Win 7, Anaconda 2 and Python 2.7. IDL was also crashing when I tried to start the IDL/Python bridge. Both problems were corrected by removing unnecessary spaces I had in the PYTHONPATH environment variable (e.g. bad: C:\Anaconda2; C:\Anaconda2\Tools\Scripts | good C:\Anaconda2;C:\Anaconda2\Tools\Scripts). Also make sure to run the python setup.py install command from the IDL bridges directory as indicated in the Harris help information.
