Guido van Rossum 6b767ac81a Lawrence Hudson, SF #401702: Modify co_filename in frozen programs
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

README

This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful
while building or extending Python.

bgen		Generate complete extension modules from a
		description.  Still under development!

compiler        A Python source to bytecode compiler written in
                Python, including an interface for manipulating
                abstract syntax trees.  Still under development.

faqwiz		FAQ Wizard.
		See http://grail.cnri.reston.va.us/cgi-bin/faqw.py
		for a live example.

freeze		Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program.

modulator	Interactively generate boiler plate for an extension
		module.  Works easiest if you have Tk.

scripts		A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. tabnanny.py
		(by Tim Peters), which checks for inconsistent mixing
		of tabs and spaces.

unicode		Tools used to generate unicode database files for
		Python 2.0 (by Fredrik Lundh).

versioncheck	A tool to automate checking whether you have the latest
		version of a package (by Jack Jansen).

webchecker	A link checker for web sites.
