As nobody decried the idea of this being a bug, it now is :)

Ben is correct in his interpretation of what I'm trying to say. The
code "should surely be changed" so that it lets a KeyboardInterrupt
exception through.

To clarify: this is more serious than an incorrect error message, as
the intended interrupt gets swallowed and
script execution proceeds. Sometimes I seem to get half-imported
modules as well,

Hi all,
I find that I semi-frequently get the cryptic message
import site failed; use -v for traceback
