Description
Originally reported by: amol (Bitbucket: amol, GitHub: Unknown)
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/pbr/+bug/1533828 this seems to be related to a change in setuptools 19.2 as it didn't happen with setuptools 19.1
Installing pbr package during "python setup.py test" phase seems to cause odd side-effects like random python modules getting corrupted.

Start with the setup.py test phase and reproduce the behavior involving installation of pbr, then compare it with the linked Launchpad report about setuptools 19.2. Done means the command test no longer causes random Python modules to become corrupted.
