Tracking this down, it looks like a pyperclip package from a Linux
distribution is leaking into that environment. The relevant
functions can be found added by Ubuntu's
0001-Switch-from-GTK-2-to-GTK-3-to-avoid-import-of-mutual.patch
which references https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709183
as the reason for its inclusion. Other distros have copies of this
patch into their packages as well (at least Debian does, not sure
which others might), but mixing packages of Python libs from a Linux
distribution and from PyPI in the same environment is a recipe for
disaster.
