Codecs are modules (in the encodings package). So if the codecs
you need aren't frozen, they aren't available at run-time. OTOH,
freeze cannot "see" the import (since it doesn't know that the
argument to .encode is really similar to a module name), so
it won't include the modules. You need to give it an explicit
list of encodings you want to freeze.

Most likely, there is some explicit command line argument, but
alternatively, you could also put

if 0:
  import encodings.utf_8
  import encodings.iso8859_1
  # etc

into some source file.
