> Why is that? python will work just fine if it can't write pyc files.

When I hacked around the _sysconfigdata.py issue, running the created python produced

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/mnt/hgfs/Repos/cpython-dirty/Lib/__pycache__/codecs.cpython-33.pyc.3076609376'
Aborted

I took this to be a failure to write the bytecompiled file.  (A regression?)  Running "./python -B" does work correctly for me.
