[issue20884] importlib/__init__.py can not be loaded without __file__ - breaks cxFreeze

Hmm, I think we still have something weird going on:


$ python3
Python 3.3.2 (default, Nov  8 2013, 13:38:57) 
[GCC 4.8.2 20131017 (Red Hat 4.8.2-1)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import _frozen_importlib
>>> _frozen_importlib.__file__
'/home/ncoghlan/<frozen>'
>>> 

$ ./python
Python 3.4.0rc1+ (default, Mar 11 2014, 19:49:01) 
[GCC 4.8.2 20131212 (Red Hat 4.8.2-7)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import _frozen_importlib
>>> _frozen_importlib.__file__
'/home/ncoghlan/devel/py3k/<frozen>'

Perhaps the problem is specifically with frozen *packages*? I don't currently have a handy one of those to test against, so I added a comment to the BitBucket issue suggest a possible simplification of the reproducer that would confirm the theory.
