I had this same problem recently (although it manifested itself
differently).  Tim (and a couple of others) helped me figure out what
was wrong on c.l.p.

I considered tracking down who did it, but decided that I had better
ways to spend my time, and would wait until it happened again.  I've
also been doing quite a bit with 'embedded' python, including installing
a variety of packages, so wasn't sure how easy it would be.  If you do
find out who made your 'fnctl.pyc', I'd be interested in knowing, as it
may very well be my culprit, too.

Got to love those quick releases :)

Out of curiosity, how did you do this?  Is it something in the build
process, or is it in the code/spec/inno setup script somewhere?

Amen.
