New submission from Marcus von Appen:
Using the --record argument with distutils' install command currently assumes
that all .py files can be compiled (and optimized) successfully.
If this is not the case for whatever reason, you end up with invalid entries in
the record list. install_lib._bytecode_filenames() should verify, if the file
could be created successfully (by e.g. checking for its existence) or the
util.byte_compile() function should return a value that indicates, if the
byte-compiled (or optimized) file could be created, so that the subsequent call
to _bytecode_filenames() receives a list with valid entries.
The issue can be recreated with e.g.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.PasswordResetTool, which will create
invalid entries for skins/PasswordReset/pwreset_constructURL.py,
which acts as template/fragment.
