(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 patch was developed primarily to reduce the size of the
frozen binary. It is particularly useful when freezing for 'small'
platforms, such as Palm OS, where you really want to save that
last miserable byte.
A limitation of this patch is that it does not provide any feedback
about the replacements being made. As the path matching
is case-sensitive this may lead to unexpected behaviour for DOS
and Windows people, eg
> freeze.py -r C:\Python\Lib\=py\ goats.py
should probably be:
> freeze.py -r c:\python\lib\=py\ goats.py
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
Under Windows, python freeze.py -o hello hello.py
creates all the correct files in the hello subdirectory, but the
Makefile has the directory prefix in it for frozen_extensions.c
nmake fails because it tries to locate hello/frozen_extensions.c
(His fix adds a call to os.path.basename() in the appropriate place.)

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.
This is not necessarily the case. It is possible to create a Python
binary which contains built-in extension modules. Therefore
checkextensions should be used for all unknown and builtin modules.

now we're reindented.
Remove files before renaming something to them -- for Windows.
Change check for Python home directory so it works correct on Windows.
Add the script directory to the path.
Fix the sanity checks on the arguments so they don't mess up the -m
option; remove the requirement that the script must have a .py
extension.
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.
