using freeze.py with python3

[Patrick Stinson]

Has anyone tried using Python-3.1.1/Tools/freeze/freeze.py with the
encodings package? It appears that encodings is required to intialize
the interpreter, but PyImport_ImportFrozenModule is failing for the
"encodings" module in marshal.c:r_object(), after trying to demarshal
an object of type 0.

The failing callstack looks like this:

#0 0x00599114 in PyImport_ImportFrozenModule at import.c:2011
#1 0x00598b14 in load_module at import.c:1830

As you can see it is calling _PyCodecRegistry_Init from
get_codeset(). Is there something I can disable here to avoid this
problem altogether? I am using the following script with freeze.py to
freeze the required modules:

print('Hello world...')
