I am looking into a particularly vexing Python problem on Ubuntu that manifests in several different ways. I think the problem is the same one described in http://bugs.python.org/issue13146 and I sent a message on the subject to the ubuntu-devel list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2013-May/037129.html

please consider that Ubuntu does have some other upgrade issues, when files in the dpkg database (/var/lib/dpkg/info/*) are corrupted, or just are files having null bytes. So these and the pyc issues share in common that these files are written after a package is unpacked. I'm not saying that the problem might be with the pyc writing, but we do see other file corruption as well.
