It's probably something else in your environment -- maybe in a 
sitecustomize.py, or a setuptools plugin that's installed in one 
environment but not the other?

The 'multiprocessing.util' module (or any other part of 
'multiprocessing' isn't imported by your simple test case, as far as 
I can tell -- and setuptools definitely doesn't import it 
either.  But your errors are in the multiprocessing.util module.  So, 
something else must be importing it.
