If the ``freeze_support()`` line is omitted then trying to run the frozen
executable will raise :exc:`RuntimeError`.
If the module is being run normally by the Python interpreter then
:func:`freeze_support` has no effect.

normally by the Python interpreter on Windows (the program has not been
frozen), then ``freeze_support()`` has no effect.
