Thanks for the report.  In 2.7 and 3.2, Python initialization was changed to 
use the new sysconfig module, which depends on the sysconfig.cfg file.  freeze 
needs to special-case the sysconfig module in its detection code to include the 
cfg file.

Do you want to work on a patch?

[issue13011] Frozen programs require the original build directory in order to run.

[Malcolm Purvis]

New submission from Malcolm Purvis malc...@purvis.id.au:

In Python 2.7.2, Linux executables built with freeze.py will only run on the 
machine that contains the original build directory.  This defeats the purpose 
of having frozen programs.  This problem did not exist in Python 2.5.

The following steps reproduce the problem:

1) Build a copy of python:

$ tar -xf Python-2.7.2.tar.bz2
$ cd Python-2.7.2
$ ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/install
$ make
$ make install

2) In another directory, build a frozen program:

$ echo 'print Hello World' hello.py
$ ~/src/Python-2.7.2/python ~/src/Python-2.7.2/Tools/freeze/freeze.py hello.py
$ make
$  ./hello 
Hello World

Copy the binary to another machine:

$ $ ./hello
