In _bootstrap.py:

def _get_module_lock(name): """Get or create the module lock for a given module name.

_imp.acquire_lock()
try:
    try:
        lock = _module_locks[name]()   <======== raises KeyError.
    except KeyError:
        lock = None

All of the affected programs run just find outside the IDE, no import problems.

This seems to have started after I installed pylint and mypy but uninstalling these didn't clear the problem. sys.pythonpath appears correct.

What on earth is going on?
