@cmonr DAMMIT, I’ve had issues similar to this in the past. It’s caused by having a Python virtualenv in my project repo. Closing the ticket

[cmonr]

@mbartling Even though this isn’t what we thought, it’s still a significant-enough issue worth tracking.

Would you mind opening another issue for others to reproduce and so that we can fix?
