It's not particularly well documented - most of the docs you'll find are about freeze utilities that don't explain how they work, or the FrozenImporter, which doesn't explain how to *create* a frozen module and link it into your Python executable. Your approach of thinking of a frozen module as a generated .pyc file that has been converted to a builtin module is a pretty good working model, though. (It isn't *entirely* accurate, but the discrepancies are sufficiently arcane that they aren't going to matter in any case that doesn't involve specifically poking around at the import related attributes).
