It happens at the top of fs.py with this sequence:

try:
  # Python >=3.0
  import builtins
except ImportError:
  # Python <3.0
  import __builtin__ as builtins

The code should be taking the except clause but the presence of the
compatibility package fools fs.py into thinking it's on a 3.0 system. This
might work except for the improper Unicode assumption about the kind of
object returned by open().
