[Tutor] crash when importing random or sys module, in my embedded python

Fiddling around with the order of the import statements DID let me use
sys.exc_info after all. But who can tell me what this inexplicable
error means? (Google couldn't find the exact error message, although
it found the source for the standard random module :^) )

Here's the error:
'computed value for TWOPI deviates too much (computed 6.28319, expected 6.28319)',

What the @*&^@#*????
