[issue23279] test_site/test_startup_imports fails when mpl_toolkit or logilab based modules installed

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon added the comment:

Python's startup performance is very sensitive to what modules get imported for all Python programs. The tests that are failing for you make sure that a core developer doesn't accidentally introduce a new startup dependency and thus slow startup times without doing so purposefully. So the tests are working as intended, you unfortunately just happen to have a startup environment thanks to those .pth files which trigger the failures.
