Details

I got a nice surprise today, where m-c would fail to build with a weird error depending on which terminal i was doing that (which, since i wasn't suspecting, looked like it was depending on how the particular file was being built, since i was always launching the same commands on the same terminal). Anyways, it turns out the terminal it wasn't building on had a PYTHONPATH set that contains simplejson (because of the Jetpack SDK), and more than that, it contains a simplejson that is not the same as the one we have in the tree.

Considering we are using a virtualenv, I think we should reset PYTHONPATH.
sounds sane to me
