To the best of my knowledge, protocol.py, brine.py, compat.py, are not 
part of the stdlib.  What have you installed other than Python? What 
editor/IDE are you using?  Check your lib/site-packages directory. From 
a google search, brine.py is a pickle replacement in the rpyc and 
dreampie (and other) packages.  The other two names are pretty generic 
and probably common.
