As discussed in http://bugs.python.org/issue15819 trying to run python built outside a read-only source directory fails for me because OSError(EIO, ...) is raised when importlib tries to write the byte compiled file. (I built python in a Linux VM using VMware Player which only had read-only access to the source directory.) Currently importlib only ignores PermissionError (EACCES, EPERM) and FileExistsError (EEXIST): http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/d54f047312a8/Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py#l1080 Under Python 3.2 all failures are ignored: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/69952b5599b5/Python/import.c#l905 so this seems to be a regression.

trying to run python built outside a read-only source directory fails for me because OSError(EIO, ...) is raised when importlib tries to write the byte compiled file.  (I built python in a Linux VM using VMware Player which only had read-only access to the source directory.)

Currently importlib only ignores PermissionError (EACCES, EPERM) and FileExistsError (EEXIST):

    http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/d54f047312a8/Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py#l1080

Under Python 3.2 all failures are ignored:

so this seems to be a regression.
