When running a parallel make -j12 test, test_pydoc fails reasonably often with: test test_pydoc failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/.../Lib/test/test_pydoc.py", line 556, in test_synopsis_sourceless synopsis = pydoc.synopsis(filename) File "/.../Lib/pydoc.py", line 240, in synopsis mtime = os.stat(filename).st_mtime FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/.../Lib/__pycache__/os.cpython-34.pyc' Two other issues mention this failure as being introduced recently in comments: http://bugs.python.org/issue20123 & http://bugs.python.org/issue20128

I suspect flakiness is due to parallel test execution. Is some other test possibly executing at the same time removing __pycache__ directories or .pyc files to recreate them (test_compileall?)? If the test were adjusted to point to a .py file of its own that it generates in a temporary directory that would avoid that.

Shall we close this? It's pretty old and if the test is still flaky it will let us know.
