You could also check the value of sys.executable which will be different when running from a Python script as opposed to an executable. > 2.

Certainly. The frozen executable has a Python interpreter built in so it can quite happily load any Python script you give it -- provided that the modules that it references are already included in your library.zip. That means you have to use the includes directive for all modules that you don't use in the core but which you might possibly wish to use in a plugin.
