<stdbool.h> is the standard/modern way to define embedd/extends Python free to define bool, true and false, but there are existing applications that use slightly different redefinitions, which fail if the header is included.
It's OK to use stdbool outside the public headers, though.

This reduces the size of the data segment by **300 KB** of the executable because if the modules are deep-frozen then the marshalled frozen data just wastes space. This was inspired by comment by @gvanrossum in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/29118#issuecomment-958521863. Note: There is a new option `--deepfreeze-only` in `freeze_modules.py` to change this behavior, it is on be default to save disk space.

# du -s ./python before

(with one small bugfix in bgen/bgen/scantools.py)
This replaces string module functions with string methods
for the stuff in the Tools directory. Several uses of
string.letters etc. are still remaining.
(With slight cosmetic improvements to shorten lines and a grammar fix
to a docstring.)
This addes -X and -E options to freeze. From the docstring:
-X module Like -x, except the module can never be imported by
the frozen binary.
-E: Freeze will fail if any modules can't be found (that
were not excluded using -x or -X).

This version of freeze creates one file per Python module, instead of
one humongous file for all Python modules.
bkfile: new module to used to write files with backups. No new file
is produced if the new contents is identical to the old.
New option "-x excluded-module" for modulefinder test program.
New option "-i filename" for freeze main program to include a list of
options in place of the -i option.
We have a whole new module finder that uses the actual Python
parser and scans the bytecode for IMPORT_NAME and IMPORT_FROM.
This requires some support in import.c (that hasn't been checked in).
New command line options for this: -d, -q, -m.
