The docs you pointed out in [3] (where it talks about a *horrible hack you 
should never use" :-) should be amended with something explaining that "you 
need to comment out the line "<encodings.*>" from frozen_module.py for this to 
work, else the frozen version of the encodings module will take priority over 
the imposter from "fullcoverage"."
