Good thinking, but "path=" seems to be working with the suggestion below.

Ah, that helps a lot! I was trying to do path like packages_dir I
think, which was completely wrong.

I built my plugin system from a tutorial on the internet, and they
have this file in plugin/__init__.py, which is used later to
initialize all python files from a directory:
__all__ = [fnm[:-3] for fnm in os.listdir(__path__[0]) if
fnm.endswith(".py") and not fnm.startswith("_")]
Now, I guess when I freeze it, I can no longer add or remove plugins,
so I have a few options:
1. Detect that I am frozen, and set __all__ manually if so. Is there a
variable set for this?
2. If it's possible, place the plugins in an external path that can be
modified. This would allow for installing/removing plugins. Am I able
to do this without Python installed on a computer?

You've been a great help! I really appreciate your time. I hope I
haven't been too much trouble.
