I have the same problem with Spyder version 3.0.0b7 installed with conda. I think the problem is that spyder/utils/site/sitecustomize.py is not installed. I don’t understand how the package get built, but comparing the spyder/utils/site subdirectory (which is not installed) with the spyder/utils/external, perhaps the problem is a missing spyder/utils/site/__init__.py file?

When running Spyder from a git clone using bootstrap.py, the error disappears.
