By seanjensengrey:

Since chardet was an optional import I had an odd state where no code was changed but 15 tests started failing. When jython compiles chardet (which it doesn't need) it blows the bytecode limits for class files, so there isn't really a way to "work around" this.

The root cause was that I had not run `jython setup.py` before, while testing the egg installer, it put chardet on the system. This caused subsequent tests to fail.
