[issue45272] 'os.path' should not be a frozen module

[Eric Snow]

Eric Snow <ericsnowcurrently at gmail.com> added the comment:

The matter here boils down to the design of _imp.is_frozen() [1].  It only checks to see if the given module name shows up in the list of frozen modules in Python/frozen.c.  This broke things when I froze os and posixpath/ntpath.

The simplest solution was to include os.path in the list of modules in frozen.c.  The better solution would be to have _imp.is_frozen() check the module in sys.modules.


[1] see find_frozen() in Python/import.c
