Well, if his python was built WITH_PTH at one point as it seems, then
it does seem like a problem with the pth package now being missing or
corrupted.  Even if he rebuilds python _with_ the PTH option selected it
should fix the issue, too.

In this case, I guess it's a matter of semantics, but I blame the
pth port (or the lack of it).  Somehow his existing python port is
expecting pth and is being brutally disappointed.
