It's not you, it's Hydra.

I got the same error (also consistently at 15.3M) yesterday. I suspect
an incompletely cached file in the front end, but that's just a guess.
Maybe someone else knows.

The good news: adding a =E2=80=98--fallback=E2=80=99 switch to build Python=
 locally
should do the trick. It did here. Just be prepared to wait a while on
a slower VM.

Kind regards,
