That's correct - all the python stuff is in stage2.

Yes I could probably walk process parents looking for something that's
the loader, but that's starting to get pretty complicated.  This looks
like the most controversial patch in the set, so maybe I'll just skip
it in favor of pushing all the others.

Ah, I think I was misunderstanding your setup a little.  You're not in
any way starting anaconda from a command line.  You're using the updates
mechanism to start another program that's coincidentally called
anaconda, that in turn starts the real anaconda.  I think this should
work, then.
