Confirmed on Hardy Heron 08.04 Alpha 4 (A4). Here is more information:
# locate site.py
/etc/python2.5/site.py
/usr/lib/python2.5/site.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.5/site.py
# dir /etc/python2.5/site.py*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14925 2007-04-12 17:00 /etc/python2.5/site.py
# dir -d /etc/python2.5
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-05-26 13:40 /etc/python2.5
Notice that locate (generated before the upgrade that broke python)
shows site.pyc, which after the upgrade does not exists. I do not know
why python is not capable to compile and generate that file, even when
running as root.
