yep, I created a new conda environment, installed coverage using the pip 
from the new environment, and hey presto, the file is back. Why is 
coverage (cov-core?) picking 
/Users/chris/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/init_cov_core.pth to put 
this path rather than somewhere inside the conda environment?
