[issue34846] Runtime failure with Failed to import site module

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

Unless this is seen as a possible security issue, this will not be fixed in 3.5.  If possible test in later versions.

By 'was running for a long time without issue', do you mean 'ran many times before this run'?  (As opposed to 'a long time in this run'?)

Did you try deleting Lib/__cache__/_collections_abc.cpython-35.pyc (or whatever the name is on ubuntu)?

If this fixes the issue, is corruption and failure in any sense deterministic?
