I doubt anyone does. As Thomas asked, do people really even still use
frozen modules?
Well, speaking of vaporware, I know that when Divmod is discussing
proprietary Python software with potential clients, Freeze often comes
up. We tend to discourage its actual use, but the *possibility* of
jamming all the distributed Python modules into a shared library or
executable and never loading them directly from the filesystem has been
an important selling point of Python in the past.
I do know that a few commercial games have shipped with a big pile of
frozen Python inside them; I don't know when the most recent one was.
