[issue3279] import of site.py fails on startup

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com> added the comment:

This happens if the site-packages directory contains a .pth file.

This was unnoticed because the usual message
   'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
is never printed: sys.stderr is empty before the call to initstdio().
