How do I configure Freeze?
--------------------------
It's a good idea to change the

assignment to variable PACK) to point to the absolute pathname of the
directory where Freeze lives (Tools/freeze in the Python source tree.)
This makes it possible to call Freeze from other directories.

Troubleshooting
---------------
If you have trouble using Freeze for a large program, it's probably
best to start playing with a really simple program first (like the
file hello.py). If you can't get that to work there's something
fundamentally wrong -- read the text above to find out how to install
relevant parts of Python properly and how to configure Freeze to find
them.
A common problem is having installed an old version -- rerunning "make
libainstall" often clears up problems with missing modules or
libraries at link time.
Freeze is currently beta software. You could email me a bug report.
Please give as much context as possible -- "Freeze doesn't work" is
not going to get much sympathy. You could fix the bug and send me a
patch. You could learn Tcl.
What is nfreeze.py?
-------------------
If you are thinking about debugging Freeze, start playing with a
really simple program first (like "print 'hello world'"). If you
can't get that to work there's something fundamentally wrong with your
environment (or with your understanding of it). Gradually build it up
to use more modules and extensions until you find where it stops
working. After that, you're on your own -- happy hacking!
The script nfreeze.py is an unsupported variant on freeze.py which
creates all files in a temporary directory and runs "make" there. It
has the advantage that it doesn't overwrite files in the current
directory, but the disadvantage is that it removes all files when it
is finished.
