New submission from David Pritchard:
In importlib/_bootstrap.py, there is a function _fill_cache which crashes when
you try to run Python in any environment that is so restricted that write
permissions are not allowed. You get a trace like:
Traceback (most recent call last):
In line:
[the import statement]
File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1558, in _find_and_load
File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1516, in _find_and_load_unlocked

File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1392, in _fill_cache
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '[the directory name]'
This was not an issue when I was using Python 3.2 and I suspect it has to do
with the OS error refactoring. I believe it can be fixed with a two-line patch,
attached. (Sorry if it is the wrong format, it's the first one I've submitted.)
The patch simply treats the case of PermissionError the same was as it does
when there is a FileNotFoundError. I've tested the patch and it fixes the
problem.
