No it isn't, but you should also have the .pyc file (unless you have set
BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PY_ONLY) so 'import os' will still work. You might
want to build python with logging and post the log here, ie

make python-dirclean python 2>&1 > pybuild.log


'svn blame' suggests this is my mistake. I use ..._PYC_ONLY so I didn't
notice.
