I actually got the same error locally.
The trouble is the timestamp.py module and the TimeStamp.c extension.
During installation setuptools creates a wrapper for the extension
file. So you end up with TimeStamp.so but also a timestamp.py
wrapper. This wrapper overwrites the original timestamp.py module.
You likely have a case-sensitive file system and therefor didn't get
this problem.
Whoever came up with the idea of a case-insensitive filesystem should be
shot (or at least, whoever decided to keep doing that after moving off of
DOS).
I have worked around this problem (I think) by renaming the extension
module to '_timestamp.so'. I released a 4.0.1 to PyPI with this fix,
along with a fix for the int - long overflow on 32-bit systems.
I think TimeStamp.c has been there before and is imported in other
modules as from persistent.TimeStamp import TimeStamp. So we should
keep that API and use a different name for the new timestamp.py
module.
I don't see the need for the BBB-preservation here: I documented the
backward-incompatibility in CHANGES.txt instead.
