Mapping and Charting 10.3.1 Breaks Python, beware!
On a freshly-reimaged OS install, with a fresh install of Arc 10.3.1 and Mapping and Charting 10.3.1 with all features enabled, including Maritime Charting, you will no longer be able to import arcpy.
Python 2.7.8 (default, Jun 30 2014, 16:03:49) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

from ctypes import cdll, CDLL, CFUNCTYPE, c_int, c_double, c_wchar_p
class CFunctions() :
_dll = CDLL('SymbolizeRepsLib.dll')
prototype = CFUNCTYPE(c_int, c_int, c_double, c_wchar_p, c_wchar_p, c_wchar_p)

WindowsError: [Error 126] The specified module could not be foundMy suspicion is that the attempt to call SymbolizeRepsLib.dll is failing, as that requires an elevated account, which, following recent events, is not a privilege that many ArcGIS users now have when using Mapping and Charting.
